The great opportunity belongs to him who can see it, to him who can grasp it. The better part of your chance is right inside of you.

It is the idle man, not the great worker, who is always complaining that he has no time or opportunity.

It is the youth who sees a great opportunity hidden in just these simple services, who sees a very uncommon situation, a humble position, who gets on in the world.

All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.

The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment, it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.

We fail to see that we can control our destiny; make ourselves do whatever is possible; make ourselves become whatever we long to be.
