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

What keeps so many people back is simply unwillingness to pay the price, to make the exertion, the effort to sacrifice their ease and comfort.

No man is beaten until his hope is annihilated, his confidence gone, As long as a man faces life hopefully, confidently, triumphantly, he is not a failure; he is not beaten until he turns his back on life.

Let your air be that of a winner, a man who is resolved to make his way in the world, to make himself stand for something.

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

No one should voluntarily remain in an environment which prevents his development.

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.
