From the greatest to the smallest, happiness and usefulness are largely found in the same soul, and the joy of life is won in its deepest and truest sense only by those who have not shirked life's burdens.

All great achievers are given multiple reasons to believe they are failures. But in spite of that they persevere.

Leaders aren't born, they are made. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal which is worthwhile.

Ability can take you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there

Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.

Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.
