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

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

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.

The giants of the race have been men of concentration, who have struck sledge-hammer blows in one place until they have accomplished their purpose. The successful men of today are men of one overmastering idea, one unwavering aim, men of single and intense purpose.

The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.

The mill cannot grind with the water that has passed.

There are powers inside of you which, if you could discover and use, would make of you everything you ever dreamed or imagined you could become.
