"A strenuous soul hates cheap success. It..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“A friend is Janus-faced: he looks to the past and the future. He is the child of all my foregoing hours, the prophet of those to come, and the harbinger of a greater friend.”

“I think no virtue goes with size.”

“There is no teaching until the pupil is brought into the same state or principle in which you are; a transfusion takes place; he is you, and you are he; then is a teaching; and by no unfriendly chance or bad company can he ever lose the benefit.”

“And fearless minds climb soonest unto crowns.”

“To me, the big thing in being a successful team is repetition of what you're doing, either by word of mouth, blackboard, or specifically by work on the field. You repeat, repeat, repeat as a unit.”

“All things being equal, attitude wins. All things not being equal, attitude sometimes still wins.”

“A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat exceptfrom within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.”

“I know as well as thee that I am no poet bornIt is a trade, I never learnt nor indeed could learnIf I make verses-'tis in spiteOf nature and my stars I write.”

“it is always easier to do nothing than to try a new line of action.”
