The majority of men meet with failure because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail.

No man ever achieved worth-while success who did not, at one time or other, find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure.

We begin to see, therefore, the importance of selecting our environment with the greatest of care, because environment is the mental feeding ground out of which the food that goes into our minds is extracted.

Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.

Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness.
