I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts. - John D. Rockefeller

There is no feeling in this world to be compared with self-reliance—do not sacrifice that to anything else.

Never, never sell yourself cheaply. Everyone is a product of his thoughts, thinking about small goals, will lead to small results. Thinking of great goals will win great success. And great ideas and big plans usually come easier than small ones, at least it will not be more difficult.

In the same way the failures which a man makes in his life are due almost always to some defect in his personality, some weakness of body, or mind, or character, will, or temperament. The only way to overcome these failings is to build up his personality from within, so that he, by virtue of what is within him, may overcome the weakness which was the cause of the failure. It is only those efforts the man himself puts forth that can really help him.
