Text Quotes
Defeats and failures are great developers of character. They have made the giants of our race by giving Titanic muscles, brawny sinews, and far-reaching intellects (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
Men are naturally lazy, and require some great stimulus to goad their flagging ambitions and enable them to overcome the inertia which comes from ease and the consciousness of inherited wealth. Whatever lessens in a young man the feeling that he must make his way in the world cripples his chance of success. Poverty has ever been the priceless spur that has goaded man up to his own loaf (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
No one is mocked with the yearning for that which he has no ability to attain. If he holds the right mental attitude and struggles earnestly, honestly toward his goal, he will reach it, or at least approximate to it (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
History furnishes thousands of examples of men who have seized occasions to accomplish results deemed impossible by those less resolute. Prompt decision and whole-souled action sweep the world before them (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
The world takes us at our own valuation. It believes in the man who believes in himself, but it has little use for the timid man: the one who is never certain of himself, who cannot rely on his own judgment, who craves advice from others, and is afraid to go ahead on his own account. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
The man who would forge to the front in this competitive age must be a man of prompt and determined decision. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
Should you be so unfortunate as to suppose you are a genius, and that ‘things will come to you,’ it would be well to undeceive yourself as soon as possible. Make up your mind that industry must be the price of all you obtain, and at once begin to pay down. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
With five chances on each hand and one unwavering aim, no boy, however poor, need despair. There is bread and success for every youth under the American flag who has energy and ability to seize his opportunity. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
Whatever you do, don’t discourage your dreaming propensity. Your heart’s desires are not empty vaporings. They foreshadow possible realities. Man was made to aspire, to look upward. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
You are never to allow a shadow of doubt to enter your mind that the Creator intended you to win in life’s battle. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
Live in the very soul of expectation of better things, in the conviction that something large, grand, and beautiful will await you if your efforts are intelligent, if your mind is kept in a creative condition and you struggle upward to your goal. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
The most fascinating person is always the one of the most winning manners; not the one of greatest physical beauty. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
Circumstances have rarely favored great men. A lowly beginning is no bar to a great career. The boy who works his way through college may have a hard time of it, but he will learn how to work his way in life, and will usually take higher rank in school and in after life than his classmate who is the son of a millionaire. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
One of the greatest boons that can ever come to a human being is to be born on a farm and reared in the country. Self-reliance and grit are oftenest country-bred. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
One of the best strengtheners of character and developers of stamina ... is to assume the part you wish to play; to assert stoutly the possession of whatever you lack. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
Do not waste time dreaming of great faraway opportunities; do the best you can where you are. Open your petals of power and beauty and fling out the fragrance of your life in the place that has been assigned to you. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
He is the richest man who enriches his country most; in whom the people feel richest and proudest; who gives himself with his money; who opens the doors of opportunity widest to those about him; who is ears to the deaf, eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
Economize in other things if you must, wear threadbare clothes if necessary, but never cheat your body or brain by the quality and quantity of your food. Poor, cheap food which produces low vitality and inferior brain force is the worst kind of economy. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
When God calls a man to be upright and pure and generous, he also calls him to be intelligent and skillful, and strong and brave. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
There is not a single indication in man’s wonderful mechanism that he was created for a life of poverty. There is something larger and grander for him in the divine plan than perpetual slavery to the bread-winning problem. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
Do not give up your dream because it is apparently not being realized, because you cannot see it coming true. Cling to your vision with all the tenacity you can muster. Keep it bright; do not let the bread-and-butter side of life cloud your ideal or dim it. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
It is just as important to set apart time for the development of our aesthetic faculties as for cultivating the money-getting instinct. A man cannot live by bread alone. His higher life demands an impalpable food. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
The golden rule for every business man is this: ‘Put yourself in your customer’s place.’ (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
What is needed by him who would succeed in the highest degree possible is careful planning. He is to accumulate reserved power, that he may be equal to all emergencies. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
Life is a great university for the unfolding of the mind, for developing character. In choosing our life work, when we are free to choose, we should remember this, and choose that which will call the biggest man or woman out of us and not that from which we can coin the most dollars. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
Every young man or woman should weigh the matter well before concluding that a college education is out of the question. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
Those who have accomplished great things in the world have been, as a rule, bold, aggressive, and self-confident. They dared to step out from the crowd and act in an original way. They were not afraid to be generals. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
How many people delay the kindness, the expression of love, until the person is dead, beyond their reach, and then try to atone for a neglected past by flowers and tears at the funeral! (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
If our dreams are sincere desires to achieve, not mere pipe-dreams, there is something deep within ourselves which comes out to meet them and helps to make them realities. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
It pays to cultivate popularity. It doubles success possibilities, develops manhood, and builds up character. (Orison Swett Marden Quotes)
