In the history of the individual is always an account of his condition, and he knows himself to be a party to his present estate.

Life is in short cycles or periods; we are quickly tired, but we have rapid rallies. A man is spent by his work, starved, prostrate; he will not lift his hand to save his life; he can never think more. He sinks into deep sleep and wakes with renewed youth, with hope, courage, fertile in resources, and keen for daring adventure.

No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourself.
