All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.

There's no grander sight in the world than that of a person fired with a great purpose, dominated by one unwavering aim.

Great men are but common men more fully developed and ripened.

To think you can creates the force that can.

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

It is just the little difference between the good and the best that makes the difference between the artist and the artisan. It is just the little touches after the average man would quit that makes the master's fame.

The Universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson. The mountain teaches stability and grandeur; the ocean immensity and change. Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes, - every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man. Even the bee and ant have brought their little lessons of industry and economy.
