I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen..

I long to accomplish a great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.

Unemployment is capitalism's way of getting you to plant a garden.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

Don't waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it.
