Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.

Wisdom is knowledge which has become a part of one's being.

Character is a mark cut upon something, and this indelible mark determines the only true value of all people and all their work.

Joyfulness keeps the heart and face young. A good laugh makes us better friends with ourselves and everybody around us.

We win half the battle when we make up our minds to take the world as we find it including the thorns.

There is no failure for the man who realizes his power, who never knows when he is beaten; there is no failure for the determined endeavor, the conquerable will. There is no failure for the man who gets up every time he falls, who rebounds like a rubber ball, who persists when everyone else gives up, who pushes on when everyone else turns back.

This is the test of your manhood: How much is there left in you after you have lost everything outside of yourself?
