"Change of environment will often wondrously develop a backward boy whose parents were completely discouraged with him under the Home conditions. As soon as the boy got into a store, or into a school, or was thrown upon his own resources, his whole character was changed." (Orison Swett Marden, Every Man a King)
"A Leader must go about. He must ask questions. He must respect the opinions of others, but that is all. He must always make up his own mind. He must be Independent-how strange that sounds! He must not be the prey of the last speaker." (Herbert N. Casson, Tips on Leadership)
"No big man, in a word, is as big as his job. He needs help. He needs fearless criticism and advice. He needs the stimulation that can come only from other brains that are as clever as his own. That is why a strong man should not carry his independence too far. That is why he should make alliances with other Leaders in other lines of trade and commerce. ? (Herbert N. Casson, Tips on Leadership)
"? [The] art of seizing opportunities and turning even accidents to account, bending them to some purpose is a great secret of success. ? The most ordinary occasions will furnish a man with opportunities or suggestions for improvement, if he be but prompt to take advantage of them. " (Samuel Smiles, Self Help)
"Self-respect is the noblest garment with which a man may clothe himself-the most elevating feeling with which the mind can be inspired." (Samuel Smiles, Self Help)
"?When you have learned to control yourself you will have found the "World Within" which controls the world without; you will have become irresistible; men and things will respond to your every wish without any apparent effort on your part." (Charles F. Haanel, The Mastery Key System)
"Knowledge will not apply itself. You must make the application. Abundance will not come to you out of the sky, neither will it drop into your lap, but a conscious realization of the law of attraction and the intention to bring it into operation for a certain, definite and specific purpose, and the will to carry out this purpose will bring about the materialization of your desire by a natural law of transference?" (Charles F. Haanel, The Mastery Key System)
"You may be pursuing the symbols of power, instead of power itself. You may be pursuing fame instead of honor, riches instead of wealth, position instead of servitude; in either event you will find that they turn to ashes just as you overtake them?" (Charles F. Haanel, The Mastery Key System)
