It is the youth who sees a great opportunity hidden in just these simple services, who sees a very uncommon situation, a humble position, who gets on in the world.

Work, love and play are the great balance wheels of man's being.

It is just the little touches after the average man would quit that make the master's fame.

We win half the battle when we make up our minds to take the world as we find it including the thorns.

If we put the emphasis upon the right things, if we live the life that is worth while and then fail, we will survive all disasters, we will out-live all misfortune. We should be so well balanced and symmetrical, that nothing which could ever happen could throw us off our center, so that no matter what misfortune should overtake us, there would still be a whole magnificent man or woman left after being stripped of everything else.

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

Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.
