Selected Quotes From: Stepping Stones

"�Let all your things have their place,� said Franklin; �let each part of your business have its time. Resolve toperform what you ought; perform without fail what your resolve, and lose no time. Be always employed in something useful�"
"Of all stepping stones, none are more important, if you ever expect to cross over, than the step-series that may be called good business habits, - habits just as essential in one calling as in another."
"Every one to whom a great work has been given by his Creator, has had a fire kindled within him, - a vast enthusiasm acting like a motive power upon his whole life. Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm."
- Orison Swett Marden

Excerpt From the Self-Help Classic... Stepping Stones

"A TALENT FOR GROWTH � there is more room at the top now than ever before. The room is growing, and it is to be occupied, not by people born to it as an estate, but by those who have the courage to believe in themselves, and the ability to struggle until they reach it.

The great hunger of the time is for good men and women. There does not seem to be enough good people to go around. There is competition for those that are available. There is plenty of room, plenty of opportunity, no matter what business you are in. Character begets the confidence of our fellow men, and confidence, in turn, opens the way for opportunities in all the honorable affairs of men.

Occasionally you will see a young man who is ambitious, not only to keep up his work, but to keep his eyes open and learn the other fellow�s duties, so that when the man above him is sick or indisposed, he is able to fall right into his shoes and accomplish the work necessary. This young man, if he is a thinker and a student, in nine cases out of ten, will come to the front and succeed, and others will wonder how he ever got there.

�It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive,� says George Eliot. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them.

It is the quality of the aspiration that determines the true success or failure of a life. A gentleman must be someone who aspires to be more than than his present situation. A lady must be one who aspires to something better than merely to surpass her neighbors in dress, or to live in a finer house, or drive a better vehicle

Every one must have at some time in his mind an ideal of what he should be. How can one be satisfied with himself who never wishes to be wiser or better?"
