Battle Quotes
-
A self-made man, if he is made at all, has already won the battle of life. . . . he has learned to resist. He has learned the value of money, and how to refuse to spend it. He has learned the value of time, and how the conversion of it into useful things will make of his life something worthwhile.

In the quest for happiness man must learn that temptation resisted strengthens the mind and the soul.

Morality has been conceived up to the present in a very narrow spirit, as obedience to a law, as inner struggle between opposite laws.
