Emotions and Feelings

It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.

I live in the present. I only remember the past, and anticipate the future.

We are all motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is, the more he is inspired to glory.

It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.

I studied the lives of great men and famous women, and I found that the men and women who got to the top were those who did the jobs they had in hand, with everything they had of energy and enthusiasm and hard work.

Never tire yourself more than necessary, even if you have to found a culture on the fatigue of your bones.

A man can get a reputation from very small things.

I was never afraid of failure, for I would sooner fail than not be among the best.

If you have the guts to follow the risk, however, life opens, opens, opens up all along the line.

He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.

Envy can be a positive motivator. Let it inspire you to work harder for what you want.

Your own resolution to success is more important than any other one thing.

The first requisite for success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without growing weary.

If you don't risk anything, you risk even more.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Most people I ask little from. I try to give them much, and expect nothing in return and I do very well in the bargain.

We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.

I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence, without the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time.
