Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.

If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and of yourself.

The size of your accomplishments, the quality of your achievement, will depend very largely on how big a man you see in yourself, what sort of image you get of your possible self, yourself at your best.

You must bring every particle of your energy, unanswerable resolution, your best efforts, your persistent industry to your task or the best will not come out of you. You must back up your ambition by your whole nature, by unbounded enthusiasm and a determination to win which knows no failure.

Money, influence, and position are nothing compared with brains, principles, energy and perseverances.

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 best thing about giving of ourselves is that what we get is always better than what we give. The reaction is greater than the action.
