Selected Quotes From: You Can But Will You

"’No man can be cheated out of an honorable career in life unless he cheats himself,’ said Emerson. Though a man have millions, if he doesn’t stand well with himself, if he has lost his self-respect, his honor, his integrity, in the process of making his fortune, he is a failure. He has cheated himself out of an honorable career."
"The trouble with most of us is that we don’t half demand enough of ourselves.
"Did you ever think that the reason why you do not get along faster in your career is because you don’t vigorously resolve to do so; you don’t expect to, you don’t believe you are going to? Remember, that which comes back to you is always like what you give out."
- Orison Swett Marden

Excerpt From the Self-Help Classic... You Can But Will You

"NO MATTER HOW POOR you may be, how humble your lot, look up. Don’t be afraid to aim too high. Keep your eye fixed upon your star. Let others ridicule, if they will, but do not let them induce you to relax the focus of your gaze. It is this setting the eye on a single star that has distinguished the great men and women of every age.

Before a man can enter the race and be admitted to the success track, he must first of all have a definite purpose, a high unwavering aim, and he must have the courage, grit and determination to cling to it no matter what stands in the way or opposes him. This is an necessary to a successful, complete life as the character of Hamlet is to Shakespeare’s great play.

One of the saddest things in life is to see men and women with a faded out ambition, a lost life aim; men and women who started out with bright prospects, but who have allowed their ideals to become dim and blurred, their standards to drop, their ambition to sag, the fires of their energy to burn out and their enthusiasm to cool down gradually under the inexorable routine of the daily round.

While all human achievement has its root in man’s climbing instinct, there is no quality which requires more watching, guarding, cultivating, than ambition. It will no live and keep growing if it is not nourished; and the moment a man begins to disregard it he begins to go downhill. His energy wanes; he gradually deteriorates in his personal appearance, in his conduct. As someone once said, ‘A man without ambition is a derelict, dangerous to others and of no value to himself.’

The only way to climb is to keep your eye fixed on your star. Visualize the thing you want to be; keep it in your mind constantly and work for it with all your might.

Carlyle said: ‘Blessed is he who has found his work, let him ask no other blessedness. He has his work – a life purpose; he has found it and will follow it.’ If you have found your life work, the thing you are best fitted to do, and put all your energy into the doing of it; if you permit not temptation to dim your ambition, no obstacle to dampen your enthusiasm or turn you from your purpose, nothing can keep you from success."
