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

The Creator has not given you a longing to do that which you have no ability to do.

One of the best strengtheners of character and developers of stamina ... is to assume the part you wish to play; to assert stoutly the possession of whatever you lack.

There is only one thing for us to do, and that is to do our level best right where we are every day of our lives; To use our best judgment, and then to trust the rest to that Power which holds the forces of the universe in his hands.

We lend power to the things we fear!

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.

Every great man has become great, every successful man has succeeded, in proportion as he has confined his powers to one particular channel.
