“The man who knows how will always have a job. The man who knows why will always be his boss.”

“The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going”

“The day is always (hers or) his, who works in it with serenity and great aims.”

“A great man is always willing to be little.”

“In the woods too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life, is always a child. In the woods, is perpetual youth.”

“Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it. The man who knows how will always have a job. The man who also knows why will always be his boss. As to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.”

“a man only knows what he's experienced”
