What we sincerely believe regarding ourselves is true for us.

Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean, you will never be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world.

We can give our smiles, our encouragement, our sympathy to someone who needs them every day of the year.

Unless you have prepared yourself to profit by your chance, the opportunity will only make you ridiculous. A great occasion is valuable to you just in proportion as you have educated yourself to make use of it.

Deep within man dwell those slumbering powers; powers that would astonish him, that he never dreamed of possessing; forces that would revolutionize his life if aroused and put into action.

You cannot measure a man by his failures. You must know what use he makes of them. What did they mean to him. What did he get out of them.

A good system shortens the road to the goal.
