The road to success may be, and generally is, obstructed by many influences which must be removed before the goal can be reached.

No man achieves great success who is unwilling to make personal sacrifices.

Before success comes in any man's life, he's sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That's exactly what the majority of men do.

It is strange, but true, that the most important turning-points of life often come at the most unexpected times and in the most unexpected ways.

People who fail to accumulate money, without exception, have the habit of reaching decisions, if at all, very slowly, and of changing these decisions quickly and often.

Those who approach their jobs and careers with enthusiasm always find plenty of opportunities, while those who complain about no one ever giving them a chance are merely observers of life. When you are determined that you will not allow others to determine your future for you, when you refuse to allow temporary setbacks to defeat you, you are destined for great success. The opportunities will always be there for you.

Understand that the only way to get happiness is by giving it away to others.
