All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible.

Without continuous effort there cannot be continuous achievement.

Who would have ever heard of Theodore Roosevelt outside of his immediate community if he had only half committed himself? The great secret of his career was that he has flung his whole life with all the determination and energy he could muster.

Your outlook upon life, your estimate of yourself, your estimate of your value are largely colored by your environment. Your whole career will be modified, shaped, molded by your surroundings, by the character of the people with whom you come in contact every day.

There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.

Power gravitates to the man who knows how.

We win half the battle when we make up our minds to take the world as we find it including the thorns.
