It is the idle man, not the great worker, who is always complaining that he has no time or opportunity.

The great opportunity belongs to him who can see it, to him who can grasp it. The better part of your chance is right inside of you.

He who improves an opportunity sows a seed which will yield fruit in opportunity for himself and others.

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

Circumstances have rarely favored great men. A lowly beginning is no bar to a great career. The boy who works his way through college may have a hard time of it, but he will learn how to work his way in life, and will usually take higher rank in school and in after life than his classmate who is the son of a millionaire.

Every man ultimately falls into the company with which he affiliates. And he is the strongest who draws men to himself, who creates the company; and this is through having a positive quality - courage and physical prowess.
