No man can hope to accomplish anything great in this world until he throws his whole soul, flings the force of his whole life, into it. It is not enough simply to have a general desire to accomplish something. There is but one way to do that; and that is, to try to be somebody with all the concentrated energy we can muster.

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

There is no failure for the man who realizes his power, who never knows when he is beaten; there is no failure for the determined endeavor; the unconquerable will.

The world makes way for the man with an idea.

The quality of your work, in the long run, is the deciding factor on how much your services are valued by the world.

What power can poverty have over a home where loving hearts are beating with a consciousness of untold riches of the head and heart?

It is just the little touches after the average man would quit that make the master's fame.
