Paradise is here or nowhere: you must take your joy with you or you will never find it.

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

Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes - every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man.

We fail to see that we can control our destiny; make ourselves do whatever is possible; make ourselves become whatever we long to be.

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.

The glow of satisfaction which follows the consciousness of doing our level best never comes to a human being from any other experience.
