His own words are a pledge of this: “My Master,” he says, “has forewarned me. Daily he announces more distinctly, ‘Surely I come quickly!’ and hourly I more eagerly respond, ‘Amen; even so come, Lord Jesus!”

“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.”

“The secret of success is constancy to purpose.”

“You are what you do, not what you say you do.”

“In order to win, you must expect to win.”

“Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.”
