For those who fight for it life has a flavor the sheltered will never know

It is not often that a man can make opportunities for himself. But he can put himself in such shape that when or if the opportunities come he is ready.

No ability, no strength and force, no power of intellect or power of wealth, shall avail us, if we have not the root of right living in us.

The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer.

War with evil; but show no spirit of malignity toward the man who may be responsible for the evil. Put it out of his power to do wrong.

I don't pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being.
