To it, more than to anything else, I owe whatever success I have had -- to this power of settling down to the day's work and trying to do it to the best of one's ability, and letting the future take care of itself.

Throw away all ambition beyond that of doing the day's work well. The travelers on the road to success live in the present, heedless of taking thought for the morrow. Live neither in the past nor in the future, but let each day's work absorb your entire energies, and satisfy your wildest ambition.

The very first step towards success in any occupation is to become interested in it.

There is reverence that we owe to everything in human shape.

To know what has to be done, then do it, comprises the whole philosophy of practical life.

The future is today.
