What we do for a living does not matter so much as how we do it. It is the spirit in which we do our work that counts, and that counts through all eternity.
From Orison Swett Marden
Whatever you do, don't discourage your dreaming propensity. Your heart's desires are not empty vaporings. They foreshadow possible realities. Man was made to aspire, to look upward.
If you are ambitious to talk well, you must be as much as possible in the society of well-bred, cultured people. If you seclude yourself, though you are a college graduate, you will be a poor converser.
Put variety into your mental bill of fare as well as into your physical. It will pay you rich returns.
He has missed the finest lesson of culture and experience who has not learned how to enjoy without owning.
Charm of personality is a divine gift that sways the strongest characters and sometimes even controls the destinies of nations.
It pays to cultivate popularity. It doubles success possibilities, develops manhood, and builds up character.
The ability to cultivate friends is a powerful aid to success. It is capital which will stand by one when panics come, when banks fail, when business concerns go to the wall.
Necessity has been a priceless spur which has helped men to perform miracles against incredible odds.
There is not a single indication in man's wonderful mechanism that he was created for a life of poverty. There is something larger and grander for him in the divine plan than perpetual slavery to the bread-winning problem.
