Your diamonds are not in far distant mountains or in yonder seas; they are in your own backyard, if you but dig for them.
You can journey to the ends of the earth in search of success, but if you’re lucky, you will discover happiness in your own backyard.
When a man has done all he can do, still there is a mighty, mysterious agency over which he needs influence to secure success. The one way he can reach it is by prayer.
Let every man or woman here remember this, that if you wish to be great at all, you must begin where you are and with what you are. He who would be great anywhere must first be great in his own Philadelphia.
Money is power. Every good man and woman ought to strive for power, to do good with it when obtained. I say, get rich, get rich!
I ask not for a larger garden, but for finer seeds.
Greatness really consists in doing some great deed with little means.
There is wealth within the sound of your voice.
Many of us spend our lives searching for success when it is usually so close that we can reach out and touch it.
So, if you feel a smile begin, don’t leave it undetected, let’s start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected!
Depend only upon yourself, but work in harmony with all things.
What we love in others we not only awaken in others, but we develop those very things more or less in ourselves.
It is better to have faith in everybody and be deceived occasionally than to mistrust everybody and be deceived almost constantly.
To keep any great nation up to a high standard of civilization there must be enough superior characters to hold the balance of power, but the very moment the balance of power gets into the hands of second-rate men and women, a decline of that nation is inevitable.
Never permit circumstances to change your plans, but give so much character to your plans that they will change circumstances. Give so much character to the current of your work that all things will be drawn into that current, and that which at first was but a tiny rivulet, will thus be swelled into a mighty, majestic stream.
Your thought will be as brilliant as the brilliancy you think into your thought, and how much brilliancy you will think into your thought will depend upon how high your realization of brilliancy happens to be at the time. When your thinking is brilliant, you will be brilliant, but if your thinking is not brilliant you will not be brilliant, no matter how brilliant you may think you are.
When others seem to take advantage of you, do not retaliate by trying to take advantage of them. Use your power in improving yourself, so that you can do better and better work. That is how you are going to win in the race. Later on, those who tried to take advantage of you will be left in the rear. Remember, those who are dealing unjustly with you or with anybody are misusing their mind. They are therefore losing their power, and will, in the course of time, begin to lose ground; but if you, in the mean time, are turning the full power of your mind to good account, you will not only gain more power, but you will soon begin to gain ground. You will gain and continue to gain in the long run, while others who have been misusing their minds will lose mostly everything in the long run. That is how you are going to win, and win splendidly regardless of ill treatment or opposition.
