No man has yet become so great in any faculty but that it is possible for some one else to become greater.

Doing what you want to do is life; and there is no real satisfaction in living if we are compelled to be forever doing something which we do not like to do, and can never do what we want to do.

You are not kept poor by lack in the supply of riches.

Do not believe that any one can know, better than yourself, what is right for you. Listen to what others have to say, but always form your own conclusions.

You must form a clear and definite mental picture of what you want. You cannot transmit an idea unless you have it yourself.

Your first duty to God, to yourself, and to the world is to make yourself as great a personality, in every way, as you possibly can.
