We cannot rise higher than our thought of ourselves.

There can be no great courage where there is no confidence or assurance, and half the battle is in the conviction that we can do what we undertake.

The first part of success is 'Get-to-it-iveness'; the second part of success is 'Stick-to-it-iveness'.

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

We can give our smiles, our encouragement, our sympathy to someone who needs them every day of the year.

The man who has no money is poor, but one who has nothing but money is poorer. He only is rich who can enjoy without owning; he is poor who though he has millions is covetous.

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.
