There is something greater than wealth, grander even than fame -- manhood, character, stand for success... nothing else really does.

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.
|
There is only one thing for us to do, and that is to do our level best right where we are every day of our lives; To use our best judgment, and then to trust the rest to that Power which holds the forces of the universe in his hands.

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

This force, which is the best thing in you, your highest self, will never respond to any ordinary half-hearted call, or any milk-and-water endeavor, It can only be reached by your supremest call, your supremest effort. It will respond only to the call that is backed up by the whole of you, not part of you; you must be all there in what you are trying to do. You must bring every particle of your energy, unanswerable resolution, your best efforts, your persistent industry to your task or the best will not come out of you. You must back up your ambition by your whole nature, by unbounded enthusiasm and a determination to win which knows no failure... Only a masterly call, a masterly will, a supreme effort, intense and persistent application, can unlock the door to your inner treasure and release your highest powers.

Every youth owes it to himself and to the world to make the most possible out of the stuff that is in him...~ Orison Swett Marden
|
There is no investment you can make which will pay you so well as the effort to scatter sunshine and good cheer through your establishment.
|
If you do not feel yourself growing in your work and your life broadening and deepening, if your task is not a perpetual tonic to you, you have not found your place.
|
We make the world we live in and shape our own environment.
|
When a man feels throbbing within him the power to do what he undertakes as well as it can possibly be done, and all of his faculties say amen to what he is doing, and give their unqualified approval to his efforts, - this is happiness, this is success.
|
Your outlook upon life, your estimate of yourself, your estimate of your value are largely colored by your environment. Your whole career will be modified, shaped, molded by your surroundings, by the character of the people with whom you come in contact every day.

The Universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson.
|
The Creator has not given you a longing to do that which you have no ability to do.
|
A strong, successful man is not the victim of his environment. He creates favorable conditions. His own inherent force and energy compel things to turn out as he desires.
|
It is like the seed put in the soil - the more one sows, the greater the harvest.
|
There is no stimulus like that which comes from the consciousness of knowing that others believe in us.
|
The man who has no money is poor, but one who has nothing but money is poorer. He only is rich who can enjoy without owning; he is poor who though he has millions is covetous.
|
It is like the seed put in the soil -- the more one sows, the greater the harvest.
|
The universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson. The mountain teaches stability and grandeur; the ocean immensity and change. Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes--every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man.

We lift ourselves by our thought, we climb upon our vision of ourselves. If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and of yourself. Hold the ideal of yourself as you long to be, always, everywhere - your ideal of what you long to attain - the ideal of health, efficiency, success.
|
Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them.
|
Unless you have prepared yourself to profit by your chance, the opportunity will only make you ridiculous. A great occasion is valuable to you just in proportion as you have educated yourself to make use of it.
|
Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.
|
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.
|
Many a man has finally succeeded only because he has failed after repeated efforts. If he had never met defeat he would never have known any great victory.
|
The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given him. This is success, and there is no other.
|
The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others it is in yourself alone.
|
It is psychological law that whatever we desire to accomplish we must impress upon the subjective or subconscious mind.
|
Wisdom is knowledge which has become a part of one's being.
