There is no substitute for merit.

Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.

Our judgments when we are pleased and friendly are not the same as when we are pained and hostile.

I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough in me to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.

Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.

I firmly believe that unless one has tasted the bitter pill of failure, one cannot aspire enough for success.
