Weak Men Wait For Opportunities; Strong Men

Self-control Is The Very Essence Of Character. To Be Able To Look A Man Straight In The Eye, Calmly And Deliberately, Without The Slightest Ruffle Of Temper Under Extreme Provocation, Gives A Sense Of Power Which Nothing Else Can Give. To Feel That You Are Always, Not Sometimes, Master Of Yourself, Gives A Dignity And Strength To Character, Buttresses It, Supports It On Every Side, As Nothing Else Can. This Is The Culmination Of Thought Mastery.

Let Your Air Be That Of A Winner, A Man Who Is Resolved To Make His Way In The World, To Make Himself Stand For Something.

Self-confidence Carries Conviction; It Makes Other People Believe In Us.

Be Larger Than Your Task.
