Other Orison Swett Marden quotes:
Don't be afraid to think too highly of yourself. If the Creator made you and is not ashamed of the job, certainly you should not be. He pronounced His work good, and you should respect it.

In order to keep himself at the top of his condition, to obtain complete mastery of all his powers and possibilities, a man must be good to himself mentally; he must think well of himself.
Absorb knowledge from every possible source and opportunity. Power gravitates to the man who knows how and why.
Keep fear out of your child's mind, as you would keep poison out of his body; for fear is the deadliest of mental poisons.
We make the world we live in and shape our own environment.
It is always what we want, not what we have, that claims our attention.
There can be no failure to a man who has not lost his courage, his character, his self respect, or his self-confidence. He is still a king.
No one has a corner on success. It is his who pays the price.
There can be no great courage where there is no confidence or assurance, and half the battle is in the conviction that we can do what we undertake.
