Quote

When a man is no longer anxious to do better than well, he is done for.

Few things are impracticable in themselves; and it is for want of application, rather than of means, that men fail to succeed.

Under the influence of fear, which always leads men to take a pessimistic view of things, they magnified their enemies' resources, and minimized their own.

All men commend patience, although few are willing to practice it.

Men are limited by the knowledge of their minds, the worth of their characters and the principles upon which they are building their lives.

When men are easy in their circumstances, they are naturally enemies to innovations.

Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success.
