Never mind what others do; do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success.

Nothing so conclusively proves a man's ability to lead others as what he does from day to day to lead himself.

They miss the whisper that runsany day in your mind,"Who are you really, wanderer?"and the answer you have to giveno matter how dark and coldthe world around you is:"Maybe I'm a king."

It's better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life.

But it was better to know of it than to see it in its daily monotony.

Put paying your dues and all that puts so much into being a success. You have an understanding of what it's about, being on your own for three or four years and living day to day on $3, or living in an apartment with no electricity.
