I'm proof that great things can happen to ordinary people if they work hard and never give up.

Joyfulness keeps the heart and face young. A good laugh makes us better friends with ourselves and everybody around us.

Put the uncommon effort into the common task... make it large by doing it in a great way.

Man becomes a slave to his constantly repeated acts. What he at first chooses, at last compels.

He is the richest man who enriches his country most; in whom the people feel richest and proudest; who gives himself with his money; who opens the doors of opportunity widest to those about him; who is ears to the deaf; eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame. Such a man makes every acre of land in his community worth more, and makes richer every man who lives near him.

If we put the emphasis upon the right things, if we live the life that is worth while and then fail, we will survive all disasters, we will out-live all misfortune. We should be so well balanced and symmetrical, that nothing which could ever happen could throw us off our center, so that no matter what misfortune should overtake us, there would still be a whole magnificent man or woman left after being stripped of everything else.

The sculptor will chip off all unnecessary material to set free the angel. Nature will chip and pound us remorselessly to bring out our possibilities. She will strip us of wealth, humble our pride, humiliate our ambition, let us down from the ladder of fame, will discipline us in a thousand ways, if she can develop a little character, Everything must give way to that. Wealth is nothing, position is nothing, fame is nothing, manhood is everything.

Superiority -- doing things a little better than anybody else can do them.

You know from past experiences that whenever you have been driven to the wall, or thought you were, you have extricated yourself in a way which you never would have dreamed possible had you not been put to the test. The trouble is that in your everyday life you don't go deep enough to tap the divine mind within you.

No man can be ideally successful until he has found his place. Like a locomotive he is strong on the track, but weak anywhere else.

We make the world we live in and shape our own environment.

A constant struggle, a ceaseless battle to bring success from inhospitable surroundings, is the price of all great achievements.

The influential man is the successful man, whether he be rich or poor.

Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean, you will never be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world.

It is what we do easily and what we like to do that we do well.
