Famous Quotes

“The celebrated phrase of the ancient Roman writer who said, "Fortune smiles on the brave," could very well serve as our motto nowadays, with this slight alteration: "Fortune smiles on those who are possest of poise.”

“Will. Reason. Knowledge of one's own value. Correctness of judgment. Sincerity toward oneself. The power of resisting the appeals of self-love. Contempt of adverse criticism. Pride that is free from vanity. A definite and clearly conceived ambition.”
