• “Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”
• “Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.”
• “Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no help at all.”
• “You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.”
