We do not know what we can bear until we are put to the test. Many a delicate mother, who thought that she could not survive the death of her children, has lived to bury her husband and the last one of a large family, and in addition to all this has seen her home and last dollar swept away; yet she has had the courage to bear it all and to go on as before. When the need comes, there is a power deep within us that answers the call.

Your outlook upon life, your estimate of yourself, your estimate of your value are largely colored by your environment. Your whole career will be modified, shaped, molded by your surroundings, by the character of the people with whom you come in contact every day.

The glow of satisfaction which follows the consciousness of doing our level best never comes to a human being from any other experience.

Self-confidence carries conviction; it makes other people believe in us.

Make it a life-rule to give your best to whatever passes through your hands. Stamp it with your manhood. Let superiority be your trademark.

There is no law by which one can, as long as he thinks he can't.

Make every occasion a great occasion, for you can never tell who may be taking your measure for a higher place.
