Other Orison Swett Marden quotes:
Success is the child of drudgery and perseverance. It cannot be coaxed or bribed; pay the price and it is yours.
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.
Never for an instant admit that you are sick, weak, or ill unless you wish to experience these conditions, for the very thinking of them helps them to get a stronger hold upon you.
The educated man ought to be able to do something better, something higher than merely to put money in his purse. Money-making can not compare with man-making.
Fortune always smiles on those who roll up their sleeves and put their shoulders to the wheel.
Nothing that the mind of man can conceive is impossible.
One penny may seem to you a very insignificant thing, but it is the small seed from which fortunes spring.
Most of us are at war with ourselves, are our own worst enemies. We expect a great deal of ourselves, yet we do not put ourselves in a condition to achieve great things. We are either too indulgent to our bodies, or we are not indulgent enough.
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.
The influential man is the successful man, whether he be rich or poor.
