Selected Quotes From: Success Nuggets

"It is sad to have so many living in the midst of schools, libraries, museums, lectures, picture-galleries, and improvement clubs and associations, and not to avail oneself of their advantage."

"There will never be any chance for the idler; the leaner; the coward; the wobbler; the ignorant; the weakling; the indifferent; the unprepared; the impractical theorist, or anyone who is committed only to watching the clock."

"To take the drudgery out of your occupation you should respect it; take pleasure in it; never feel above it; see the poetry in it; work with a purpose; do it will all your might; be larger than your task; prepare for it thoroughly; make it a mean for character-building and do it cheerfully, even if it is not congenial."

- Orison Swett Marden

Excerpt From the Self-Help Classic... Success Nuggets

"DOES AN EDUCATION PAY?

Does it pay to learn to make life a glory instead of a grind?

Does it pay to open a little wider the door of a narrow life?

Does it pay to add power to the lens of the microscope or telescope?

Does it pay to push one’s horizon farther out, in order to get a wider outlook, a clearer vision?

Does it pay for an acorn to become an oak?

Does it pay for a chrysalis to unfold into a butterfly?

Does it pay to taste the exhilaration of feeling one’s powers unfold?

Does it pay for a rosebud to open its petals and fling out its beauty to the world?

Does it pay to know how to take the dry dreary drudgery out of life?

Does it pay to escape being a rich ignoramus?

Does it pay to fit oneself for a superior position?

Does it pay to get a glimpse of the joy of living?

Does it pay to learn how to focus thought with power, how to marshal one’s mental force effectively?

Does it pay to acquire power to get out of life high and noble pleasures which wealth can not purchase?

Does it pay to acquire a character-wealth, a soul-property, which no disaster or misfortune can wreck or ruin?

Does it pay to make life-long friendships with bright, ambitious young people, many of whom will occupy high places later on?

Does it pay to become familiar with all the lessons that history and science can teach as to how to make life healthy and successful?

Does it pay to become an enlightened citizen, able to see through the sophistries of political claptrap and vote intelligently on public matters?

Does it pay to change a bar of rough pig iron into hairsprings for watches, thus increasing its worth to more than fifty times the value of its weight in gold?
Does it pay to experience the joy of self-discovery in one’s nature which might otherwise remain undiscovered?

Does it pay the sculptor to call out from the rough block the statue that sleeps in the marble, so that it may tell the story of heroism and greatness to unborn generations?

Does it pay to have one’s mentality stirred by the passion for expansion, to feel the tonic of growth, the indescribable satisfaction which comes from the consciousness of perpetual enlargement?

Does it pay to have expert advice and training, to have high ideals held up to one in the most critical years in life?

Does it pay to have four years filled with the most delightful associations with cultured people, at an age when ambitions and high ideals have not been dulled or shattered by disappointment, or the unbounded faith in human nature shocked by violated pledges?"
