There is no medicine like hope.

Every one who has labored honestly in the past has aided to place knowledge and comfort within the reach of a constantly increasing number.

Opportunity always looks bigger going than coming.

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

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.

The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. Opportunities! Every life is full of them. Every newspaper article is an opportunity. Every client is an opportunity. Every sermon is an opportunity. Every business transaction is an opportunity, an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly, an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends.

The golden rule for every business man is this: 'Put yourself in your customer's place.'
