Achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is. It is honest endeavor, persistent effort to do the best possible under any and all circumstances.

Every one who has labored honestly in the past has aided to place knowledge and comfort within the reach of a constantly increasing number.

All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible.

Talk happiness. The world is sad enough without your woe.

The hopeful man sees success where others see failure, sunshine where others see shadows and storm.

Laughter brightens the eye, increases the perspiration, expands the chest, forces the poisoned air from the least-used cells, and tends to restore that exquisite poise or balance which we call health.

Obstacles will look large or small to you according to whether you are large or small.
