“The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.”

“The help which tends to make us spiritually strong is the highest help, next to it comes intellectual help and after that comes physical help.”

“Things do not grow better; they remain as they are. It is we who grow better, by the changes we make in ourselves.”

“We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in the future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.”

“By doing well the duty which is nearest to us, the duty which is in our hands, we make ourselves stronger”

“Be not afraid, for all great power throughout the history of humanity has been with the people. From out of their ranks have come all the greatest geniuses of the world, and history can only repeat itself. Be not afraid of anything. You will do marvelous work.”

“If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.”
