Your outlook upon life, your estimate of yourself, your estimate of your value are largely colored by your environment. Your whole career will be modified, shaped, molded by your surroundings, by the character of the people with whom you come in contact every day.

The size of your accomplishments, the quality of your achievement, will depend very largely on how big a man you see in yourself, what sort of image you get of your possible self, yourself at your best.

Our trials, our sorrows, and our grieves develop us.

The first part of success is 'Get-to-it-iveness'; the second part of success is 'Stick-to-it-iveness'.

There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.

We advance on our journey only when we face our goal, when we are confident and believe we are going to win out.

Thrift means that you should always have the best you can possibly afford, when the thing has any reference to your physical and mental health, to your growth in efficiency and power.
