If we go down into ourselves, we find that we possess exactly what we desire.

One man with courage is a majority.

We must have perserverence and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something.

The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have.

The starting point of all achievement is desire.
