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

There can be no life which does not contain something to be grateful for, and the habit of gratitude is one of the most powerful assets of success and happiness which can be named.

Power gravitates to the man who knows how.

Aspiration lifts the life; groveling lowers it. When we are striving for excellence in everything we do the entire life grows and expands, but if we allow our standards to drop, there is a natural progression that follows, a tendency for a downward effort in all that we do thereafter.

The best thing about giving of ourselves is that what we get is always better than what we give. The reaction is greater than the action.

The successful men of today are men of one overmastering idea, one unwavering aim, men of single and intense purpose.

You must bring every particle of your energy, unanswerable resolution, your best efforts, your persistent industry to your task or the best will not come out of you. You must back up your ambition by your whole nature, by unbounded enthusiasm and a determination to win which knows no failure.
