Wisdom Is Knowledge Which Has Become A

You Have Not Found Your Place Until All Your Faculties Are Roused, And Your Whole Nature Consents And Approves Of The Work You Are Doing.

The Sculptor Will Chip Off All Unnecessary Material To Set Free The Angel. Nature Will Chip And Pound Us Remorselessly To Bring Out Our Possibilities. She Will Strip Us Of Wealth, Humble Our Pride, Humiliate Our Ambition, Let Us Down From The Ladder Of Fame, Will Discipline Us In A Thousand Ways, If She Can Develop A Little Character. Everything Must Give Way To That. Wealth Is Nothing, Position Is Nothing, Fame Is Nothing, Manhood Is Everything.

A Great Many People Never Really Discover Themselves Until Ruin Stares Them In The Face. They Do Not Seem To Know How To Bring Out Their Reserves Until They Are Overtaken By An Overwhelming Disaster, Or Until The Sight Of Their Blighted Prospects And Of The Wreck Of Their Homes And Happiness Stirs Them To The Very Center Of Their Beings.... There Is Something In Defeat Which Puts New Determination Into A Man Of Mettle.

Don't Wait For Extraordinary Opportunities. Seize Common Occasions And Make Them Great. Weak Men Wait For Opportunities; Strong Men Make Them.

What A Great Discrepancy There Is Between People And The Results They Achieve! It Is Due To The Difference In Their Power Of Calling Together All The Rays Of Their Ability, And Concentrating Them Upon One Point.
