The greatest opportunity of our lives is to wake ourselves up and get going. There is so much to be done and so little time to do it. We should impress ourselves with the seriousness of slothfulness.

How ridiculous it is to waste our lives experimenting with those things for which we already have the answers!

We insist on near perfection in everyone except ourselves. But if our course is questioned we become offended.

The greatest of all our human concepts is the immortality of the personality and the eternal glory of the human soul. Throughout eternity you will be yourself and I will be myself, with quickened senses amplified powers of perception, and vastly increased capacity for reason, understanding, love, and happiness, all of which are qualities we may develop now. Our machines wear out, our barns fall down, and our substance goes back to the dust, but our finest collection of personal qualities will have eternal life.

The way of success is not run with seven league boots but step by step, little by little, bit by bit ... with no exceptions allowed.

Difficulty is one of the prices that we pay for our blessings.

Wealth is not only what you have but it is also what you are.
