Resolve to throw off the influences of any unfortunate environment, and to build your own life to order.
You have a brain and mind of your own. Use it, and reach your own decisions
Hard labor and good intentions are not sufficient to carry a man through to success.
There is some one thing that you can do better than anyone else in the world could do it. Search until you find out what this particular line of endeavor is, then organize all of your forces and attack it with the belief that you are going to win.
To succeed in life, succeed at being yourself.
More gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has been taken from the earth.
