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.

Absorb knowledge from every possible source and opportunity. Power gravitates to the man who knows how and why.

Live and let live is not enough; live and help live is not too much.

Every germ of goodness will at last struggle into bloom and fruitage...true success follows every right step.

You will always have to live with yourself, and it is to your best interest to see that you have good company - a clean, pure, straight, honest, upright, generous, magnanimous companion.

The secret of happiness is in a cheerful, contented mind. He is poor who is dissatisfied; he is rich who is contented with what he has, and can enjoy what others own.

A constant struggle, a ceaseless battle to bring success from inhospitable surroundings, is the price of all great achievements.
