Other Orison Swett Marden quotes:

Self-confidence carries conviction; it makes other people believe in us.
What we sincerely believe regarding ourselves is true for us.
Our trials, our sorrows, and our grieves develop us.
It is human nature to help a man along the way he is going; if he is going up, the world will boost him; if he is going down, the world will kick him. If a man lacks faith in himself, the world will lack faith in him also.

There is genius in persistence. It conquers all opposers. It gives confidence. It annihilates obstacles. Everybody believes in a determined man. People know that when he undertakes a thing, the battle is half won, for his rule is to accomplish whatever he sets out to do.
Be larger than your task.
