The Universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson.

Aspiration lifts the life; groveling lowers it. When we are striving for excellence in everything we do the entire life grows and expands, but if we allow our standards to drop, there is a natural progression that follows, a tendency for a downward effort in all that we do thereafter.

No man can be ideally successful until he has found his place. Like a locomotive he is strong on the track, but weak anywhere else.

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

We lend power to the things we fear!

You will never succeed while smarting under the drudgery of your occupation, if you are constantly haunted with the idea that you could succeed better in something else.

We cannot rise higher than our thought of ourselves.
