I ask not for a larger garden, but for finer seeds.

Begin where you are and what you are.

Ninety-eight out of 100 of the rich men in America are honest. That is why they are rich.

Let us remember there is not a poor person in the United States who was not made poor by his own shortcomings.

Many of us spend our lives searching for success when it is usually so close that we can reach out and touch it.

Let every man or woman here remember this, that if you wish to be great at all, you must begin where you are and with what you are. He who would be great anywhere must first be great in his own Philadelphia.

When a man has done all he can do, still there is a mighty, mysterious agency over which he needs influence to secure success. The one way he can reach it is by prayer.
