Adversity will do something too you or for you.

If you must speak ill of another, do not speak it, write it in the sand near the water's edge.

If you are one of those people who believe that hard work and honesty alone will bring riches-perish the thought; because it's not true. Riches, when they come in huge quantities, are never the result of hard work. Riches come if they come at all, in response to definite demands, based upon the application of definite principles, and not by chance or luck.

Discipline comes through self control. This means that you must control all negative qualities. Before you can control conditions, you must first control yourself. Self-mastery is the hardest job you will ever tackle. If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.

Nature cannot be tricked or cheated. She will give up to you the object of your struggles only after you have paid her price.

Experience is a teacher that knows no favorites.

The one and only thing over which you have complete and total control is how you focus your own mind. Luckily, this determines everything else.
