In Marden's Words

I have so many quotes at my disposal that I could not them all if I lived to be 100. Some days I have to look pretty hard for just the right one. Today was one of those days. I could not decide on just one. I bought my copy of SUCCESS Magazine today. There is an article in the August issue about Orison Swett Marden, one of the greatest writers and thinkers who ever lived, and also the founder of SUCCESS. The article, about Marden's life, included many of his greatest quotes and sayings. You will love these gems. Here are a few. Impossibilities are merely the half-hearted efforts of quitters. The greatest enemies of achievement are fear, doubt and vacillation. Every child should be taught to expect success. People do not realize the immense value of utilizing spare minutes. No substitute has ever yet been discovered for honesty. Many people are imprisoned by ignorance. No matter how humble your work may seem, do it in a spirit of an artist, of a master. Today's Winning Thought: "Poverty is of no value except as a vantage ground for a starting point." -- Oriston Swett Marden
