Character is itself a fortune (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Great men stamp their mind upon their age and nation (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Childhood is like a mirror, which reflects in after life the images first presented to it (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The noble people will be nobly ruled, and the ignorant and corrupt ignobly (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Any number of depraved units cannot form a great nation (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)
Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Hope is the companion of power, and the mother of success; for who so hopes has within him the gift of miracles (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Lost wealth may be replaced by industry, lost knowledge by study, lost health by temperance or medicine, but lost time is gone forever (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The wise man. If he would live at peace with others, he will bear and forbear (Samuel Smiles 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)
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)
"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)
Woman is the heart of humanity... its grace, ornament, and solace (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)
His qualities depend, not upon fashion or manners, but upon moral worth; not on personal possessions, but on personal qualities. The Psalmist briefly describes him as one that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh to-day as when they first passed through their author's minds, ages ago (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Cheerfulness is also an excellent wearing quality. It has been called the bright weather of the heart (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Necessity is always the first stimulus to industry, and those who conduct it with prudence, perseverance and energy will rarely fail. Viewed in this light, the necessity of labor is not a chastisement, but a blessing, the very root and spring of all that we call progress in individuals and civilization in nations (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Although genius always commands admiration, character most secures respect. The former is more the product of the brain, the latter of heart-power; and in the long run it is the heart that rules in life (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
The best school of discipline is home. Family life is God's own method of training the young, and homes are very much as women make them (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Woman, above all other educators, educates humanly. Man is the brain, but woman is the heart, of humanity (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
To set a lofty example is the richest bequest a man can leave behind (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Luck whines; labor whistles (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Those who have most to do, and are willing to work, will find the most time (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Marriage like government is a series of compromises. One must give and take, repair and restrain, endure and be patient (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
Even happiness itself may become habitual. There is a habit of looking at the bright side of things, and also of looking at the dark side (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
It is possible that the scrupulously honest man may not grow rich so fast as the unscrupulous and dishonest one; but the success will be of a truer kind, earned without fraud or injustice. And even though a man should for a time be unsuccessful, still he must be honest: better lose all and save character. For character is itself a fortune (Samuel Smiles Quotes)
