No one owns you. One hundred per cent of the stock in your personal corporation belongs to you.
From George Matthew Adams
It is easier to win than to fail. Everybody sides with the winner. But the failure walks alone.
It is a great thing to have a big brain, a fertile imagination, grand ideals, but the man with these, bereft of a good backbone, is sure to serve no useful end.
What you think means more than anything else in your life. More than what you earn, more than where you live, more than your social position, and more than what anyone else may think about you.
Few people wear out before their time. Mostly they rust out, worry out, run out - spill out. A machine must have care and its different parts must be adjusted properly. No machine has ever approached the human machine. When it is right, it is in health.
No one ever gets too big to make mistakes. The secret is that the big man is greater than his mistakes, because he rises right out of them and passes beyond them.
It's marvelous the change that comes about when a man gets together all his forces and centers them upon the doing of one thing at a time.
People who look down never get much of an idea of the sky where the stars are set. And the fellow who doesn't hitch at least one or two of his wagons to a star never gets very high up. Get your eyes off the ground. Look ahead.
Courage is heartworth making itself felt in deeds. It never waits for chances; it makes chances.
The further you get from nature, the less happy you are; and the nearer, the more exultant you become over the world and all that there is in it.
