Real happiness is so simple that most people do not recognize it. It is derived from the simplest, the quietest, the most unpretentious things in the world.

They may well fear fate who have any infirmity of habit or aim: but they who rest on what is have a destiny beyond destiny, and can make mouths of fortune.

No one should voluntarily remain in an environment which prevents his development.

Deep within man dwell those slumbering powers; powers that would astonish him, that he never dreamed of possessing; forces that would revolutionize his life if aroused and put into action.

Opportunities? They are all around us ... There is power lying latent everywhere waiting for the observant eye to discover it.

Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them.

If we get the good that belongs to us here and now, we must extract the sweetness of each passing minute while it is ours. That is the real art of living in the today.
