“The best thing about giving of ourselves is that what we get is always better than what we give. The reaction is greater than the action.”

You cannot measure a man by his failures. You must know what use he makes of them. What did they mean to him. What did he get out of them.

Obstacles will look large or small to you according to whether you are large or small.

What keeps so many people back is simply unwillingness to pay the price, to make the exertion, the effort to sacrifice their ease and comfort.

Make it a life-rule to give your best to whatever passes through your hands. Stamp it with your manhood. Let superiority be your trademark.

Conquer yourself and you can conquer everything else.

The best books are those which lift us to a higher plane where we breathe a purer atmosphere.

All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.

Wanted, a man who will not lose his individuality in a crowd, a man who has the courage of his convictions, who is not afraid to say “No,” though all the world say “Yes.

It is the youth who sees a great opportunity hidden in just these simple services, who sees a very uncommon situation, a humble position, who gets on in the world.

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

Find your purpose and fling your life out to it. Find a way or make one. Try with all your might. Self-made or never made.

This is the test of your manhood: How much is there left in you after you have lost everything outside of yourself?

There is no stimulus like that which comes from the consciousness of knowing that others believe in us.

Learn From Yesterday, Live for Today, hope for tomorrow.

Absorb knowledge from every possible source and opportunity. Power gravitates to the man who knows how and why.

There can be no failure to a man who has not lost his courage, his character, his self respect, or his self-confidence. He is still a King.

We eventually learn that emotional closure is our own action. We can be responsible for it. In any moment, we can choose to open or to close.

Never lower your target ; increase your actions.

Never reduce a target. Instead, increase actions!

No economy, no matter how bad, can hold down a goal that is followed by enough action.

History is the depository of great actions, the witness of what is past, the example and instructor of the present, and monitor to the future.

The greatness of a life can only be estimated by the multitude of its actions. We should not count the years, it is our actions which constitute our life.

I don’t want to be an action star, an action star’s life is so short. I want my life to get longer, I want my career to get longer.

It is not enough that your designs, nay that your actions, are intrinsically good, you must take care they shall appear so.
