To many a man, and sometimes to a youth, there comes the opportunity to choose between honorable competence and tainted wealth. The young man who starts out to be poor and honorable, holds in his hand one of the strongest elements of success.

There is something greater than wealth, grander even than fame, manhood, character, stand for success... nothing else really does.

Power gravitates to the man who knows how.

There are powers inside of you which, if you could discover and use, would make of you everything you ever dreamed or imagined you could become.

Man becomes a slave to his constantly repeated acts. What he at first chooses, at last compels.

The world is sad enough without your woe.

The Creator has not given you a longing to do that which you have no ability to do.

The giants of the race have been men of concentration, who have struck sledge-hammer blows in one place until they have accomplished their purpose. The successful men of today are men of one overmastering idea, one unwavering aim, men of single and intense purpose.

Concentration is the factor that causes the great discrepancy between men and the results they achieve... the difference in their power of calling together all the rays of their ability and concentrating on one point.

The influential man is the successful man, whether he be rich or poor.
