Something Greater Than Wealth, Grander Even Than

We Do Not Know What We Can Bear Until We Are Put To The Test. Many A Delicate Mother, Who Thought That She Could Not Survive The Death Of Her Children, Has Lived To Bury Her Husband And The Last One Of A Large Family, And In Addition To All This Has Seen Her Home And Last Dollar Swept Away; Yet She Has Had The Courage To Bear It All And To Go On As Before. When The Need Comes, There Is A Power Deep Within Us That Answers The Call.

Whatever Comes To Us In Life We Create First In Our Mentality. As The Building Is A Reality In All Its Details In The Architects Mind Before A Stone Or Brick Is Laid, So We Create Mentally Everything Which Later Becomes A Reality In Our Achievement.

The Sculptor Will Chip Off All Unnecessary Material To Set Free The Angel. Nature Will Chip And Pound Us Remorselessly To Bring Out Our Possibilities. She Will Strip Us Of Wealth, Humble Our Pride, Humiliate Our Ambition, Let Us Down From The Ladder Of Fame, Will Discipline Us In A Thousand Ways, If She Can Develop A Little Character. Everything Must Give Way To That. Wealth Is Nothing, Position Is Nothing, Fame Is Nothing, Manhood Is Everything.

Weak Men Wait For Opportunities; Strong Men Make Them.

Paradise Is Here Or Nowhere: You Must Take Your Joy With You Or You Will Never Find It.
