What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence.
Everything yields to diligence.
If one must fight or create, it is necessary that this be preceded by the broadest possible knowledge.

Some minds seem almost to create themselves, springing up under every disadvantage and working their solitary but irresistible way through a thousand obstacles.
Diligence is the mother of good luck.
My heroes are always ready, willing, and able to execute moves necessary to get themselves out of deep trouble.

To begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment.
