“Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself”

“I was ever a fighter, so - one fight more, the best and the last!”

“A minute's success pays the failure of years”

“To dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall, and, baffled, get up and begin again”

“And while the law (of competition) may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department”

“There is no use whatever trying to help people who do not help themselves. You cannot push anyone up a ladder unless he be willing to climb himself”
