“You can't learn in school what the world is going to do next year.”

“You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.”

“To do more for the world than the world does for you - that is success.”

“The way to learn to do things is to do things. The way to learn a trade is to work at it. Success teaches how to succeed. Begin with the determination to succeed, and the work is half done already.”

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can't—you're right.”

“Life is a series of experiences, each of which makes us bigger, even though it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and griefs which we endure help us in our marching onward.”

“The whole secret of a successful life is to find out what is one's destiny to do, and then do it.”
