The best thing about giving of ourselves is that what we get is always better than what we give. The reaction is greater than the action.

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.

Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them.

Achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is. It is honest endeavor, persistent effort to do the best possible under any and all circumstances.

Talk happiness. The world is sad enough without your woe.
