A man will remain a rag-picker as long as he has only the vision of a rag-picker.

The influential man is the successful man, whether he be rich or poor.

You cannot measure a man by his failures. You must know what use he makes of them. What did they mean to him. What did he get out of them.

The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of the weak.

All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.

We lift ourselves by our thought.

There is only one thing for us to do, and that is to do our level best right where we are every day of our lives; To use our best judgment, and then to trust the rest to that Power which holds the forces of the universe in his hands.
