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.

There can be no failure to a man who has not lost his courage, his character, his self respect, or his self-confidence. He is still a King.

Self-Control is the very essence of character. To be able to look a man straight in the eye, calmly and deliberately, without the slightest ruffle of temper under extreme provocation, gives a sense of power which nothing else can give. To feel that you are always, not sometimes, master of yourself, gives a dignity and strength to character, buttresses it, supports it on every side, as nothing else can. This is the culmination of thought mastery.

Joyfulness keeps the heart and face young.

Every experience in life, everything with which we have come in contact in life, is a chisel which has been cutting away at our life statue, molding, modifying, shaping it. We are part of all we have met. Everything we have seen, heard, felt or thought has had its hand in molding us, shaping us.

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

Success is the child of drudgery and perseverance. It cannot be coaxed or bribed; pay the price and it is yours.
