The purpose of life is to contribute in some way to making things better.

Don’t be ‘a writer’. Be writing.

If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there.

There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.

Have regular hours for work & play; make each day both useful & pleasant and prove you understand the worth of time by employing it well.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he as imagined, he will meet with success unexpectedly in common hours.

I have brought myself, by long meditation, to the conviction that a human being with settled purpose must accomplish it, and that nothing can resist a will which will stake even existence upon its fulfillment.

Honor bespeaks worth. Confidence begets trust. Service brings satisfaction. Cooperation proves the quality of leadership.

A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.

The golden rule for every business man is this: ‘Put yourself in your customer’s place.’

Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served.

I had made the religion of service my own, as I felt that God could be realized only through service.
