My favorite quote of all time:
Circumstances do not make the man, they reveal him.
You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.
Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound.
To desire is to obtain; to aspire is to achieve.
A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.
He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would achieve much must sacrifice much; he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.
Whether you be man or woman you will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
The law of harvest is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act, and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny.
