Put the uncommon effort into the common task... make it large by doing it in a great way.
Orison Swett MardenThe hopeful man sees success where others see failure, sunshine where others see shadows and storm.
Orison Swett MardenMoney, influence, and position are nothing compared with brains, principles, energy and perseverances.
Orison Swett MardenIf we put the emphasis upon the right things, if we live the life that is worth while and then fail, we will survive all disasters, we will out-live all misfortune. We should be so well balanced and symmetrical, that nothing which could ever happen could throw us off our center, so that no matter what misfortune should overtake us, there would still be a whole magnificent man or woman left after being stripped of everything else.
