We cannot rise higher than our thought of ourselves.
A constant struggle, a ceaseless battle to bring success from inhospitable surroundings, is the price of all great achievements.

The quality of your work, in the long run, is the deciding factor on how much your services are valued by the world.
Your outlook upon life, your estimate of yourself, your estimate of your value are largely colored by your environment. Your whole career will be modified, shaped, molded by your surroundings, by the character of the people with whom you come in contact every day.
The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.
What we do for a living does not matter as much as how we do it.
We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.
You must bring every particle of your energy, unanswerable resolution, your best efforts, your persistent industry to your task or the best will not come out of you. You must back up your ambition by your whole nature, by unbounded enthusiasm and a determination to win which knows no failure.
