Success is the child of drudgery and perseverance. It cannot be coaxed or bribed; pay the price and it is yours.

Resolve that whatever you do, you will bring the whole man to it; that you will fling the whole weight of your being into it.

Make it a life-rule to give your best to whatever passes through your hands. Stamp it with your manhood. Let superiority be your trademark.

Joyfulness keeps the heart and face young. A good laugh makes us better friends with ourselves and everybody around us.

Obstacles will look large or small to you according to whether you are large or small.

One penny may seem to you a very insignificant thing, but it is the small seed from which fortunes spring.

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.
