Other Orison Swett Marden quotes:
Every man must play the part of his ambition. If you are trying to be a successful man, you must play the part.
Achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is. It is honest endeavor, persistent effort to do the best possible under any and all circumstances.
Paradise is here or nowhere: you must take your joy with you or you will never find it.
The greatest advantage of books does not always come from what we remember of them, but from their suggestiveness, their character-building power.
Self-confidence carries conviction; it makes other people believe in us.
Find your purpose and fling your life out to it. Find a way or make one. Try with all your might. Self-made or never made.
Resolve that whatever you do, you will bring the whole man to it; that you will fling the whole weight of your being into it.
Faith is the best substitute for genius; in fact, it is closely allied to genius.
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.
We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.
