What a great discrepancy there is between people and the results they achieve! It is due to the difference in their power of calling together all the rays of their ability, and concentrating them upon one point.

There can be no failure to a man who has not lost his courage, his character, his self respect, or his self-confidence. He is still a King.

The Universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson. The mountain teaches stability and grandeur; the ocean immensity and change. Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes, - every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man. Even the bee and ant have brought their little lessons of industry and economy.

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.

No one should voluntarily remain in an environment which prevents his development.

We lift ourselves by our own thought; we climb upon our vision of ourselves.

The wearer of smiles and the bearer of a kindly disposition needs no introduction, but is welcome anywhere.
