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.

The mill cannot grind with the water that has passed.

Money, influence, and position are nothing compared with brains, principles, energy and perseverances.

The hopeful man sees success where others see failure, sunshine where others see shadows and storm.

There can be no great courage where there is no confidence or assurance, and half the battle is in the conviction that we can do what we undertake.

We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.

Character: the grandest thing in the world.
