Every one who has labored honestly in the past has aided to place knowledge and comfort within the reach of a constantly increasing number.

No man is beaten until his hope is annihilated, his confidence gone, As long as a man faces life hopefully, confidently, triumphantly, he is not a failure; he is not beaten until he turns his back on life.

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

Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.

The wearer of smiles and the bearer of a kindly disposition needs no introduction, but is welcome anywhere.

There's no grander sight in the world than that of a person fired with a great purpose, dominated by one unwavering aim.

Self-confidence carries conviction; it makes other people believe in us.
