Many a man has finally succeeded only because he has failed after repeated efforts. If he had never met defeat he would never have known any great victory.

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.

There's no grander sight in the world than that of a person fired with a great purpose, dominated by one unwavering aim.

There is no law by which one can, as long as he thinks he can't.

People do not realise the immense value of utilising spare minutes.

The giants of the race have been men of concentration, who have struck sledge-hammer blows in one place until they have accomplished their purpose. The successful men of today are men of one overmastering idea, one unwavering aim, men of single and intense purpose.

We lift ourselves by our own thought; we climb upon our vision of ourselves.
