Never allow yourself to dwell upon your weaknesses, deficiencies, or failures. Holding firmly the ideal and struggling vigorously to attain it will help you to realize it.

Scatter your flowers as you go; you will never go this way again.

Unless generosity of spirit prevails among men, there can never be upon earth an ideal life.

Work faithfully, and you will put yourself in possession of a glorious and enlarging happiness.

Do not give up your dream because it is apparently not being realized, because you cannot see it coming true. Cling to your vision with all the tenacity you can muster. Keep it bright; do not let the bread-and-butter side of life cloud your ideal or dim it.

No matter where your lot may be cast, no power on earth can keep you from making a man of yourself, a superb character, a masterpiece.
