Time and time again, as a boy, I was humiliated. I celebrated my first day in long pants by going to a dance where I fell sprawling on the floor, and was so ashamed that I jumped up, ran away and left my girl to get home the best way she could.

There is no finer sensations in life that which comes with victory over one's self. Go forward to a goal of inward achievement, brushing aside all your old internal enemies as you advance.

I know the joy of skating on a clear cold day. I know the joy of getting off a perfect drive in golf. I know the delight of a fine meal after a long walk. These are real and wholesome, but all of them put together can not approach the thrill of ridding yourself of fear!

A truth discovered always seems so plain and simple that we wonder why the discovery was so long delayed.

Very few persons go through life without at least one big chance. The fact that so many do not grasp it is due more often to fear than to any other one thing.

All my life I had feared to-morrow, until I decided to have faith and to live to-day in courage.

Any experience can be transformed into something of value. Everything depends on the way you look at things. You cannot have the success without the failures.
