Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others.
It is a cursed evil to any man to become as absorbed in any subject as I am in mine
Riches do not respond to wishes. They respond only to definite plans, backed by definite desires, through constant persistence.

If you're bored with life, if you don't get up every morning with a burning desire to do things, you don't have enough goals.

If you are five minutes early, you are already ten minutes late.
When you know what you want, and want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it.

I never pick up an item without thinking of how I might improve it.
Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.
