More From Orison Swett Marden
- "Your expectations opens or closes the doors of your supply, If you expect grand things, and work honestly for them, they will come to you, your supply will correspond with your expectation."
- "There can be no great courage where there is no confidence or assurance, and half the battle is in the conviction that we can do what we undertake."
- "Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean, you will never be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world."

- "War paralyzes your courage and deadens the spirit of true manhood."― Alexander Berkman
