"Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn."
"In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd."
"In every case, the remedy is to take action. Get clear about exactly what it is that you need to learn and exactly what you need to do to learn it. BEING CLEAR KILLS FEAR. Make it thy business to know thyself, which is the most difficult lesson in the world."
"He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses all."
"How will he who does not know how to govern himself know how to govern others?"
