Self-control Is The Very Essence Of Character. To Be Able To Look A Man Straight In The Eye, Calmly And Deliberately, Without The Slightest Ruffle Of Temper Under Extreme Provocation, Gives A Sense Of Power Which Nothing Else Can Give. To Feel That You Are Always, Not Sometimes, Master Of Yourself, Gives A Dignity And Strength To Character, Buttresses It, Supports It On Every Side, As Nothing Else Can. This Is The Culmination Of Thought Mastery.

People Who Have Accomplished Work Worthwhile Have Had A Very High Sense Of The Way To Do Things. They Have Not Been Content With Mediocrity. They Have Not Confined Themselves To The Beaten Tracks; They Have Never Been Satisfied To Do Things Just As Others So Them, But Always A Little Better. They Always Pushed Things That Came To Their Hands A Little Higher Up, This Little Farther On, That Counts In The Quality Of Life's Work. It Is Constant Effort To Be First-class In Everything One Attempts That Conquers The Heights Of Excellence.
