On Constant Improvement
"Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes."
On Self-Reliance
"A man then must stand erect, not be kept erect by others."
On Rising from the Ashes of Failure
"A setback has often cleared the way for greater prosperity. Many things have fallen only to rise to more exalted heights."
On Higher Standards
"Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself."
On Fighting Well
"The important thing in life is not triumph, but the struggle; the essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."
On Taking Small Steps
"We should discipline ourselves in small things, and from there progress to things of greater value."
On the Importance of Habits
"Success is a short race — a sprint fueled by discipline just long enough for habit to kick in and take over."
