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

Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.

There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.

Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.

We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.

It is like the seed put in the soil - the more one sows, the greater the harvest.

The Creator has not given you a longing to do that which you have no ability to do.

The golden rule for every business man is this: 'Put yourself in your customer's place.'

Love is a reciprocal torture.

Everywhere I look, I see something holy.

I am always of the opinion with the learned, if they speak first.
