There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man's lack of faith in his true Self.

A new position of responsibility will usually show a man to be a far stronger creature than was supposed.

Need and struggle are what excite and inspire us; our hour of triumph is what brings the void.

If you only care enough for a result, you will almost certainly attain it. Only you must, then, really wish these things, and wish them exclusively, and not wish at the same time a hundred other incompatible things just as strongly.

I have often thought the best way to define a man's character would be to seek out the particular mental or moral attitude in which, when it comes upon him, he felt himself most deeply and intensely active and alive. At such moments there is a voice inside which speaks and says: This is the real me!.

The general law is that no mental modification ever occurs which is not accompanied or followed by a bodily change.

The most peculiar social self which one is apt to have is in the mind of the person one is in love with.
