My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.

Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you, and in the end you are sure to succeed.

Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.

To believe in the things you can see and touch is no belief at all; but to believe in the unseen is a triumph and a blessing.

If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends with them?

When getting ready to reason with a man, I spend one-third of my time thinking about myself and what I am going to say and two-thirds thinking about him and what he is going to say.

Die when I may, I want it said of me by those who knew me best that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.

I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day.

Everybody likes a compliment.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing.
