People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to.

At every crossroad on the way that leads to the future, each progressive spirit is opposed by a thousand men appointed to guard the past.

Men of lofty genius when they are doing the least work are the most active.

“Without faith it is impossible to please God,” and without faith it is impossible for you to become great. The distinguishing characteristic of all really great men and women is an unwavering faith.

The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has.

Most of the stone a nation hammers goes toward its tomb only. It buries itself alive. As for the Pyramids, there is nothing to wander at in them so much as the fact that so many men could be found degraded enough to spend their lives constructing a tomb for some ambitious booby, whom it would have been wiser and manlier to have drowned in the Nile, and then given his body to the dogs.

As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say; I just watch what they do.

The personal ego must be suppressed and replaced with the ‘universal ego.’

Young men think old men are fools; but old men know young men are fools.

The prophets and seers and great men and women, past and present, were made great by what they perceived from God, not by what they were taught by men.

I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can't be done.
