Contentment is not happiness. An oyster may be contented. Happiness is compounded of richer elements. The use we make of our fortune determines as to its sufficiency. A little is enough if used wisely, and too much is not enough if expended foolishly. Doubt whom you will, but never yourself. Self-distrust is the cause of most of our failures ... they are the weakest, however strong, who have no faith in themselves or their own powers. It is our relation to circumstances that determines their influence over us. The same wind that carries one vessel into port may blow another off shore. When all else is lost, the future still remains. The method of the enterprising is to plan with audacity and execute with vigor. Example has more followers than reason. It is only an error in judgement to make a mistake, but it shows infirmity of character to adhere to it when discovered. Half our fears are baseless, the other half discreditable. Doubt whom you will, but never yourself. Self distrust is the cause of most of our failures. In the assurance of strength, there is strength, and they are the weakest, however strong, who have no faith in themselves or their own powers. The method of the enterprising is to plan with audacity and execute with vigor. The method of the enterprising is to plan with audacity and execute with vigor.

A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough. Self-distrust is the cause of most of our failures. They are the weakest, however strong, who have no faith in themselves or their own powers. When all else is lost, the future still remains. |
