The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they alone knew everything and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for girls, they are forward, immodest and unwomanly in speech, behaviour and dress.

Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

The trouble with most people is that they quit before they start.

Most people don't have that willingness to break bad habits. They have a lot of excuses and they talk like victims.

The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.

Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be; if you think yourselves strong, strong you will be.
