Great Throughts Treasury

"What I am thinking and doing day by day is resistlessly shaping my future - a future in which there is no expiation except through my own better conduct. No one can save me. No one can live my life for me. If I am wise I shall begin today to build my own truer and better world from within."

"Be true to the best you know. This is your high ideal. If you do your best, you cannot do more."

"Do your best every day and your life will gradually expand into satisfying fullness."

"The ideal never comes. Today is ideal for him who makes it so."
