There is no power on earth that can neutralize the influence of a high, simple and useful life.

Character is power.

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life... as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.

Dignify and glorify common labor. It is at the bottom of life that we must begin, not at the top.

Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon.

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed.
