An energetic man will succeed where an indolent one would vegetate and inevitably perish.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A strong, successful man is not the victim of his environment. He creates favorable conditions. His own inherent force and energy compel things to turn out as he desires.
Energy is an eternal delight, and he who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence.
Man is a special being, and if left to himself, in an isolated condition, would be one of the weakest creatures; but associated with his kind, he works wonders.
Whatever seeds each man cultivates will grow to maturity and bear in him their own fruit. If they be vegetative, he will be like a plant.
The becoming of man is the history of the exhaustion of his possibilities.
The real scientist is ready to bear privation and, if need be, starvation rather than let anyone dictate to him which direction his work must take.
Man has a limited biological capacity for change. When this capacity is overwhelmed, the capacity is in future shock.
A man will give up almost anything except his suffering.
In fighting nature, man can win every battle except the last. If he should win that too, he will perish, like an embryo cutting its own umbilical cord.
Man is fully responsible for his nature and his choices.
