Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game one foot from a winning touchdown.

In the fields of observation chance favours only the prepared mind.

Action is the foundational key to all success.

There are two ways of exerting one's strength: one is pushing down, the other is pulling up.

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

All work, even cotton spinning, is noble; work is alone noble ... A life of ease is not for any man, nor for any god.
