Our trials, our sorrows, and our grieves develop us.

Man becomes a slave to his constantly repeated acts. What he at first chooses, at last compels.

There is genius in persistence. It conquers all opposers. It gives confidence. It annihilates obstacles. Everybody believes in a determined man. People know that when he undertakes a thing, the battle is half won, for his rule is to accomplish whatever he sets out to do.

How can I develop myself into the grandest possible manhood?

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.

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

No one has a corner on success. It is his who pays the price.
