You can succeed if nobody else believes it, but you will never succeed if you don't believe in yourself.

Before you can write a check, you must first make out a deposit slip; before you can draw money out of a bank, you must put money into a bank; before you are entitled to a living, you must give the world a life; if you want to make a first-class living, learn to give the world a first-class life.

And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.

You cannot raise a man up by calling him down.

That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.

If the majority of people of a country, no matter how great its natural resources, organize and conspire to get more out and put less in, to do less and get more, how long will, how long can it last?

Men will get no more out of life than they put into it.
