People don't realize how a man's whole life can be changed by one book.

Life is entrusted to man as a treasure which must not be squandered, as a talent which must be used well.

A man should look for what is, and not what he thinks should be.

You'll never get ahead of anyone as long as you try to get even with him.

When we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.

How long should you try? Until.

If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.

Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

One must maintain a little bittle of summer, even in the middle of winter.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.

Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time, who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done, if we are always doing.

Never stand begging for what one has the power to earn.

The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow.

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.

Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.

Wealth is not about having a lot of money; it's about having a lot of options.
