The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given him. This is success, and there is no other.

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.

Just make up your mind at the very outset that your work is going to stand for quality... that you are going to stamp a superior quality upon everything that goes out of your hands, that whatever you do shall bear the hallmark of excellence.

Money, influence, and position are nothing compared with brains, principles, energy and perseverances.

There is a legend that when God was equipping man for his long life journey of exploration, the attendant good angel was about to add the gift of contentment and complete satisfaction. The Creator stayed his hand and said, 'No, if you bestow that upon him you will rob him forever of all joy of self-discovery.'

Unless you have prepared yourself to profit by your chance, the opportunity will only make you ridiculous. A great occasion is valuable to you just in proportion as you have educated yourself to make use of it.

What are stumbling blocks and defeat to the weak and vacillating are but stepping stones to victory to the determined soul.
