“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.

The best stories come from real life experiences.

Here is one quality that one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it

I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on.

Cover the canvas at the first go, then work at it until you see nothing more to add.

Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.
