Failure is blindness to the strategic element in events; success is readiness for instant action when the opportune moment arrives.

Friendship warms like a sunbeam; charms like a good story; inspires like a brave leader; binds like a golden chain; guides like a heavenly vision.

Failure is blindness to the strategic element in events; success is readiness for instant action when the opportune moment arrives.

Our world is a college, events are teachers, happiness is the graduating point, character is the diploma God gives man.

Give thy mind to books and libraries, and the literature and lore of the ages will give thee the wisdom of sage and seer.

Man must make his choice between ease and wealth; either may be his, but not both.

Only when the heart loves can the intellect do great work.
