Action is the real measure of intelligence.

When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.

All intelligent thoughts have already been thought; what is necessary is only to try to think them again.

The majority of men meet with failure because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail.

Before success in any man's life he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do.

Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.

War grows out of the desire of the individual to gain advantage at the expense of his fellow man.

If your imagination leads you to understand how quickly people grant your requests when those requests appeal to their self-interest, you can have practically anything you go after.

Any ideas, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.

Happiness is found in doing, not merely possessing.
