The beginning of a habit is like an invisible thread, but every time we repeat the act we strengthen the strand, add to it another filament, until it becomes a great cable and binds us irrevocably thought and act.

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.

The influential man is the successful man, whether he be rich or poor.

Our thoughts and imaginations are the only real limits to our possibilities.

Make it a life-rule to give your best to whatever passes through your hands. Stamp it with your manhood. Let superiority be your trademark.

Every great man has become great, every successful man has succeeded, in proportion as he has confined his powers to one particular channel.

Talk happiness. The world is sad enough without your woe.
