Text Quotes
An intense anticipation itself transforms possibility into reality; our desires being often but precursors of the things which we are capable of performing (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
I'm as happy a man as any in the world, for the whole world seems to smile upon me! (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
It is energy - the central element of which is will - that produces the miracle that is enthusiasm in all ages. Everywhere it is what is called force of character and the sustaining power of all great action (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Labor is still, and ever will be, the inevitable price set upon everything which is valuable (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Men must necessarily be the active agents of their own well-being and well-doing they themselves must in the very nature of things be their own best helpers (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Men who are resolved to find a way for themselves will always find opportunities enough; and if they do not find them, they will make them (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Progress however, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great results cannot be achieved at once; and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The duty of helping one's self in the highest sense involves the helping of one's neighbors (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The work of many of the greatest men, inspired by duty, has been done amidst suffering and trial and difficulty. They have struggled against the tide, and reached the shore exhausted (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Mere political reform will not cure the manifold evils which now afflict society. There requires a social reform, a domestic reform, an individual reform (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
No laws, however stringent, can make the idle industrious, the thriftless provident, or the drunken sober (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
If we opened our minds to enjoyment, we might find tranquil pleasures spread about us on every side. We might live with the angels that visit us on every sunbeam, and sit with the fairies who wait on every flower (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
It will generally be found that men who are constantly lamenting their ill luck are only reaping the consequences of their own neglect, mismanagement, and improvidence, or want of application (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
"Where there is a will there is a way", is an old and true saying. He who resolves upon doing a thing, by that very resolution often scales the barriers to it, and secures its achievement (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
It is not ease but effort, not facility but difficult, that makes man. There is perhaps no station in life in which difficulties do not have to be encountered and overcome before any decided means of success can be achieved (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Where there is a will there is a way. Is an old true saying. He who resolves upon doing a thing, by that very resolution often scales the barriers to it, and secures its achievement. To think we are able, is almost to be so - to determine upon attainment is frequently attainment itself (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
No good thing is ever lost. Nothing dies, not even life which gives up one form only to resume another. No good action, no good example dies. It lives forever in our race. While the frame moulders and disappears, the deed leaves an indelible stamp, and molds the very thought and will of future generations (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The women of the poorer classes make sacrifices, and run risks, and bear privations, and exercise patience and kindness to a degree that the world never knows of, and would scarcely believe even if it did know (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Honorable industry always travels the same road with enjoyment and duty, and progress is altogether impossible without it (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The great and good do no die even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
It is not ease, but effort - not facility, but difficulty, that makes men. There is, perhaps, no station in life in which difficulties have not to be encountered and overcome before any decided measure of success can be achieved (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The great lesson of biography is to show what man can be and do at his best. A noble life put fairly on record acts like an inspiration to others (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Experience serves to prove that the worth and strength of a state depend far less upon the form of its institutions than upon the character of its men; for the nation is only the aggregate of individual conditions, and civilization itself is but a question of personal, improvement (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
A woman's best qualities do not reside in her intellect, but in her affections. She gives refreshment by her sympathies, rather than by her knowledge (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
A fig-tree looking on a fig-tree becometh fruitful, says the Arabian proverb. And so it is with children; their first great instructor is example (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The Romans rightly employed the same word (virtus) to designate courage, which is, in a physical sense, what the other is in a moral; the highest virtue of all being victory over ourselves (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
If you have great talents, industry will improve them; if you have but moderate abilities, industry will supply their deficiencies (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Alexander the Great valued learning so highly, that he used to say he was more indebted to Aristotle for giving him knowledge than to his father Philip for life (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Though an inheritance of acres may be bequeathed, an inheritance of knowledge and wisdom cannot. The wealthy man may pay others for doing his work for him; but it is impossible to get his thinking done for him by another, or to purchase any kind of self-culture (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
