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

Resolve that whatever you do, you will bring the whole man to it; that you will fling the whole weight of your being into it.

A man will remain a rag-picker as long as he has only the vision of a rag-picker.

You know from past experiences that whenever you have been driven to the wall, or thought you were, you have extricated yourself in a way which you never would have dreamed possible had you not been put to the test. The trouble is that in your everyday life you don't go deep enough to tap the divine mind within you.

To have done no man a wrong...to walk and live, unseduced, within arm's length of what is not your own, with nothing between your desire and its gratification but the invisible law of rectitude-this is to be a man.

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 unconquerable will.

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