“God gives talent. Work transforms talent into genius.”
“No one can arrive from being talented alone, work transforms talent into genius.”
“Success depends in a very large measure upon individual initiative and exertion, and cannot be achieved except by a dint of hard work.”
“To follow, without halt, one aim: that's the secret of success.”
“When a small child, I thought that success spelled happiness. I was wrong, happiness is like a butterfly which appears and delights us for one brief moment, but soon flits away.”
