"Everyone has two natures. One wants us to advance
and the other wants to pull us back. The one that we cultivate and
concentrate on decides what we are at the end."
"A man by one supreme effort of the will may change his
whole career and almost accomplish miracles."
"Habit is a matter of acquirement."
"The fact is, opportunity never seeks us, we must seek
it."
"Many persons read good books, but say they do not get
much good out of them. They do not realize that all any book or any
lesson course can do is to awaken them to their possibilities, to simulate
them to use their will power."
"You may teach a person from now until doom's day, but
that person will only know what he learns himself. You can lead him
to the fountain but you can't make him drink."
"We get back what we give out. So form the habit of encouraging
others, and you will find it a wonderful tonic for both those encouraged
and yourself."
"Life furnishes us the opportunity to improve. But
whether we do it or not depends upon how near we live up to what is expected
of us."
"Our may be a hard task, but the harder the task, the
greater the rewards. It is the difficult things that really develop
us, anything that requires only a small effort, utilizes very few of our
faculties and yields a scanty harvest or achievement."
"I know that every man that is willing to pay the price
can be a success. The price is not in money, but in effort."
"The first essential quality of success is the desire
to do - to be something. The next thing is to learn how to do it,
the next to carry it into execution."
"The secret of success is to try always to improve yourself
no matter where you are or what your position."
"The successful man gets used to seeing things accomplished
and always feels sure of success. The man that is a failure gets
used to seeing failure, expects it and attracts it to him."
"It is my opinion that with the right kind of training
every man could be a success."
"Don't expect anyone to help you. Just take one
big brace, make firm resolutions, and resolve to conquer your weakness
and vices. Really none can do this for you. They can encourage
you, that is all."
"Everyone really wants to do something, but there are
few that will put forward the needed effort to make the necessary sacrifice
to secure it."
"There is only one way to accomplish anything and that is to go ahead and do it."
