There is no stimulus like that which comes from the consciousness of knowing that others believe in us.

The power of material things, to bestow happiness, to bring joy into the life is tremendously exaggerated. But The right mental attitude for example gratitude that things are not worse, the trained mind the right habits of thought - lifeskills, will bring to us the best there is in the universe.

Great men are but common men more fully developed and ripened.

Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them... they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.

When a man feels throbbing within him the power to do what he undertakes as well as it can possibly be done, this is happiness, this is success.

There is no medicine like hope.

No man can be ideally successful until he has found his place. Like a locomotive he is strong on the track, but weak anywhere else.
