"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."
Quotes by D. Starke
"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."
