“The thing to do when one feels sure that he has said or done the right thing and is condemned, is to stand still and keep quiet. If he is right, time will show it.” 

“The world cares little about what a man knows;it cares more about what a man is able to do.” 

“It is important and right that all privileges of the law be ours, but it is vastly more important that we be prepared for the exercise of those privileges.” 

Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work.

Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon

Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.

You can’t hold a man down without staying down with him

 I have begun everything with the idea that I could succeed, and I never had much patience with the multitudes of people who are always ready to explain why one cannot succeed

There are two ways of exerting one’s strength; one is pushing down, the other is pulling up

If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.
