All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.

Unless you are prepared yourself to profit by your chance, the opportunity will only make you ridiculous. A great occasion is valuable to you in proportion as you have educated yourself to make use of it.

You cannot measure a man by his failures. You must know what use he makes of them. What did they mean to him. What did he get out of them.

It is like the seed put in the soil - the more one sows, the greater the harvest.

Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes - every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man.

The Universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson.

We make the world we live in and shape our own environment.
