He can who thinks he can, and he can't who thinks he can't.

Without continuous effort there cannot be continuous achievement.

A good system shortens the road to the goal.

The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. Opportunities! Every life is full of them. Every newspaper article is an opportunity. Every client is an opportunity. Every sermon is an opportunity. Every business transaction is an opportunity, an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly, an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends.

It is certain that the greatest poets, orators, statesmen, and historians, men of the most brilliant and imposing talents, have labored as hard, if not harder, than day laborers; and that the most obvious reason why they have been superior to other men is that they have taken more pains than other men.

Money, influence, and position are nothing compared with brains, principles, energy and perseverances.

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