You will always have to live with yourself, and it is to your best interest to see that you have good company - a clean, pure, straight, honest, upright, generous, magnanimous companion.

Let your air be that of a winner, a man who is resolved to make his way in the world, to make himself stand for something.

Every germ of goodness will at last struggle into bloom and fruitage...true success follows every right step.

There is a legend of an artist who long sought for a piece of sandalwood, out of which to carve a Madonna. He was about to give up in despair, leaving the vision of his life unrealized, when in a dream he was bidden to carve his Madonna from a block of oak wood which was destined for the fire. He obeyed and produced a masterpiece from a log of common firewood. Many of us lose great opportunities in life by waiting to find sandalwood for our carvings, when they really lie hidden in the common logs that we burn.

Find your purpose and fling your life out to it. Find a way or make one. Try with all your might. Self-made or never made.

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

One penny may seem to you a very insignificant thing, but it is the small seed from which fortunes spring.
