Resolve that whatever you do, you will bring the whole man to it; that you will fling the whole weight of your being into it.

Every great man has become great, every successful man has succeeded, in proportion as he has confined his powers to one particular channel.

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

Opportunity always looks bigger going than coming.

No young man starting in life could have better capital than plenty of friends. They will strengthen his credit, support him in every great effort, and make him what, unaided, he could never be. Friends of the right sort will help him more - to be happy and successful - than much money.

There is only one thing for us to do, and that is to do our level best right where we are every day of our lives; To use our best judgment, and then to trust the rest to that Power which holds the forces of the universe in his hands.

When we are sure that we are on the right road there is no need to plan our journey too far ahead. No need to burden ourselves with doubts and fears as to the obstacles that may bar our progress. We cannot take more than one step at a time.
