William Matthews Quotes and Quotations
The difficulties, hardships and trials of life, the obstacles ... are positive blessings. They knit the muscles more firmly, and teach self-reliance. One well-cultivated talent, deepened and enlarged, is worth one hundred shallow faculties. Unless a man has trained himself for his chance, the chance will only make him ridiculous. The first law of success ... is concentration: to bend all the energies to one point, and to go directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor the left. |
