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

Whatever our creed, we feel that no good deed can by any possibility go unrewarded, no evil deed unpunished.

The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. Opportunities! Every life is full of them. Every newspaper article is an opportunity. Every client is an opportunity. Every sermon is an opportunity. Every business transaction is an opportunity, an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly, an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends.

Joyfulness keeps the heart and face young. A good laugh makes us better friends with ourselves and everybody around us.

Make it a life-rule to give your best to whatever passes through your hands. Stamp it with your manhood. Let superiority be your trademark.
