No man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors. The sensible worker does not knock those who work with him. Don't knock your friends. Don't knock your enemies. Don't knock yourself.

Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!

You shall, I question not, find a way to the top if you diligently seek for it; for nature hath placed nothing so high that it is out of the reach of industry and valor.

All of life is peaks and valleys. Don't let the peaks get too high and the valleys too low.

Never bend your head. always hold it high. look the world straight in the eye.
