All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.

What we do when defeat stares us in the face is the real touchstone of character. But the very fact that success has time and again proved the means of awakening people to the knowledge of greater ability than they ever before dreamed they possessed, ought to hearten and encourage us to keep on no matter how often we fail. If we brace ourselves and continue to push forward we will ultimately win out. (From Everybody ahead, or getting the most out of life)

The tonic of success is a marvelous producer as well as stimulant. By the law of mental magnetism one success attracts another, and after we begin to win it is comparatively easy to keep on winning.

What a great discrepancy there is between people and the results they achieve! It is due to the difference in their power of calling together all the rays of their ability, and concentrating them upon one point.

The hopeful man sees success where others see failure, sunshine where others see shadows and storm.

We win half the battle when we make up our minds to take the world as we find it including the thorns.

A constant struggle, a ceaseless battle to bring success from inhospitable surroundings, is the price of all great achievements.

The golden rule for every business man is this: 'Put yourself in your customer's place.'

Many a man has finally succeeded only because he has failed after repeated efforts. If he had never met defeat he would never have known any great victory.
