You have not found your place until all your faculties are roused, and your whole nature consents and approves of the work you are doing.

Analyzing what you haven't got as well as what you have is a necessary ingredient of a career.

The trouble with us is that we expect too much from the great happenings, the unusual things, and we overlook the common flowers on the path of life, from which we might abstract sweets, comforts, delights.

There is no failure for the man who realizes his power, who never knows when he is beaten; there is no failure for the determined endeavor, the conquerable will. There is no failure for the man who gets up every time he falls, who rebounds like a rubber ball, who persists when everyone else gives up, who pushes on when everyone else turns back.

We cannot rise higher than our thought of ourselves.

A strong, successful man is not the victim of his environment. He creates favorable conditions. His own inherent force and energy compel things to turn out as he desires.

You have not found your place until all your faculties are roused, and your whole nature consents and approves of the work you are doing.
