“Implementation beats oration.”

“People don't have to believe in you for you to succeed. Just work hard, when you succeed, they will believe.”

“Whatever work you undertake, do it seriously, thoroughly and well; never leave it half-done or undone, never feel yourself satisfied unless and until you have given it your very best. Cultivate the habits of discipline and toleration. Surrender not the convictions you hold dear but learn to appreciate the points of view of your opponents.”

“Great determination can overcome most odds.”

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”

“We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.”

“The smaller the mind the greater the conceit.”
