Selected Quotes From: Be Good To Yourself

"Some people never get out of the world of pennies into the world of dollars. They work so hard to save the cents that they lose the dollars and the larger growth � the richer experience and the better opportunity."
"Anyone who tries to get superior results from inferior methods, from cheapness in quality of material or service deludes himself."
"The passion for conquest, the conquering faculty which we all have � that something within us which aspires � becomes strong and powerful just in proportion as it has legitimate exercise and encouragement, so that every feeling out and stretching of the mind, every exercise of the faculties today makes a larger tomorrow possible."
- Orison Swett Marden

Excerpt From the Self-Help Classic... Be Good To Yourself

"THE ONE WHO CAN THINK CLEARLY and act wisely when others get excited is the one who is everywhere sought to save the day in a crisis; he is always wanted for important positions, because, in emergencies, which are always likely to arise, everybody feels safer in his hands. It is the man who knows what to do when others are disconcerted, who is cool when others are excited, that is wanted; the man who is not easily flustered when pressure is brought to bear upon him or when he is obliged to assume great responsibility.

Men who easily lose their heads, and who go all to pieces in an accident, or when any great strain is brought to bear upon them or anything very unusual occurs, are weaklings, and are not to be depended upon in an emergency.

There is something superb, something we can not help revering and admiring in a person who can stand perfectly calm, unmoved, and serene when others become excited, lose their heads, and have no control over their acts.

To keep a level head in all circumstances and under all conditions, to keep it when others lose it, to maintain an even judgment, good �horse sense,� when others around one are foolish, is a difficult thing. It shows a great reserve power, that which characterizes the poised, self-controlled man.

The great test of a large, well-balanced man is that he does not change materially with changed conditions. Financial losses, failure in his undertakings, sorrow, do not throw him off balance, because he is squarely centered in principle. Nor is he puffed up by a little prosperity.

There is one thing a man ought to be always able to do, no matter in what circumstances he may be placed, and that is, to keep on his feet, and if he falls, to fall on his feet, and under no circumstances lose his balance. If he can keep calm and act deliberately when others are confused and excited, he has a leading part to play in life. It gives him a tremendous power in his community, because it is the level-headed man, who keeps an even keel in any storm, that is sought for in great emergencies, looked for in the crisis."
