The trouble with us is that we expect too much from the great happenings, the unusual things, and we overlook the common flowers on the path of life, from which we might abstract sweets, comforts, delights.

Success is the child of drudgery and perseverance. It cannot be coaxed or bribed; pay the price and it is yours.

The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.

Make every occasion a great occasion, for you can never tell who may be taking your measure for a higher place.

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

No one should voluntarily remain in an environment which prevents his development.

Put yourself in your customer's place.
