To have done no man a wrong...to walk and live, unseduced, within arm's length of what is not your own, with nothing between your desire and its gratification but the invisible law of rectitude-this is to be a man.

The mill cannot grind with the water that has passed.

Believe with all your heart that you will do what you were made to do.

No man is beaten until his hope is annihilated, his confidence gone, As long as a man faces life hopefully, confidently, triumphantly, he is not a failure; he is not beaten until he turns his back on life.

Something greater than wealth, grander even than fame — that manhood, character, stand for success, and that nothing else really does.

We cannot separate our lives from time. Why is it that we are so extravagant, so thoughtless, in our waste of time, especially in youth, when we cling so tenaciously to life? You cannot separate a wasted hour from the same duration of your life. If you waste your time, you must waste your life. If you improve your time, you cannot help improving your life.

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