Intellectual achievements are the result of thought consecrated to the search for knowledge, or for the beautiful and true in life and nature.

There can be no progress, no achievement without sacrifice, and a man’s worldly success will be in the measure that he sacrifices his confused animal thoughts, and fixes his mind on the development of his plans, and the strengthening of his resolution and self-reliance.

Not having commenced to manfully control his thoughts, he is not in a position to control affairs and to adopt serious responsibilities. He is not fit to act independently and stand alone. But he is limited only by the thoughts, which he chooses.

A man can only rise, conquer, and achieve by lifting up his thoughts.

A strong man cannot help a weaker unless that weaker is willing to be helped.

As he thinks, so he is; as he continues to think, so he remains.

A man’s weakness and strength, purity and impurity, are his own, and not another man’s; they are brought about by himself.
