We cannot rise higher than our thought of ourselves.

You have not found your place until all your faculties are roused, and your whole nature consents and approves of the work you are doing.

There can be no life which does not contain something to be grateful for, and the habit of gratitude is one of the most powerful assets of success and happiness which can be named.

Deep within man dwell those slumbering powers; powers that would astonish him, that he never dreamed of possessing; forces that would revolutionize his life if aroused and put into action.

No one should voluntarily remain in an environment which prevents his development.

Unless you have prepared yourself to profit by your chance, the opportunity will only make you ridiculous. A great occasion is valuable to you just in proportion as you have educated yourself to make use of it.

We make the world we live in and shape our own environment.
