Success is being praised by others. That is nice but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success."

"Twenty to twenty-five! These are the years! Dont be content with things as they are. Dont take No for an answer. Never submit to failure.

You will make all kinds of mistakes; but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or even seriously distress her. She was made to be wooed and won by youth. She has lived and thrived only by repeated subjugations. "
