Every happening, great and small, is a parable whereby God speaks to us, and the art of life is to get the message.

Many great actions are committed in small struggles.

A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

A constant struggle, a ceaseless battle to bring success from inhospitable surroundings, is the price of all great achievements.

To walk around with an ego is a bad thing. To have confidence in yourself is a great thing.

Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.

The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.
