| "Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to
improve themselves; they therefore remain bound. The man who does not
shrink from self-crucifixion can never fail to accomplish the object upon
which his heart is set. This is true of earthly as of heavenly things.
Even the man whose object is to acquire wealth must be prepared to make
great personal sacrifices before he can accomplish his object; and how
much more so he who would realize a strong and well-poised life." | |

spreading of it. If we make it satisfactory enough, it will spread
automatically. If we do not, no strength of arms can permanently oppose
it." | |

| "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." | |

Andrew Carnegie

|
| "When one recognizes a discontented desire for improvement in his
life, his mind begins to cast about for ways to resolve the issue ? to
adopt a new ideal to live by ? for moving from where he is to where he
desires to be." | |
