As long as a man faces life hopefully, confidently, triumphantly he is not a failure

It is just the little difference between the good and the best that makes the difference between the artist and the artisan. It is just the little touches after the average man would quit that makes the master's fame.

What a great discrepancy there is between people and the results they achieve! It is due to the difference in their power of calling together all the rays of their ability, and concentrating them upon one point.

Achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is. It is honest endeavor, persistent effort to do the best possible under any and all circumstances.

The glow of satisfaction which follows the consciousness of doing our level best never comes to a human being from any other experience.

Man becomes a slave to his constantly repeated acts. What he at first chooses, at last compels.
