To become an able and successful man in any profession, three things are necessary, nature, study and practice.

---

The first and most important step toward success is the feeling that we can succeed.

---

One must be a god to be able to tell successes from failures without making a mistake.

---

The secret of success is constancy of purpose.

Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.

---

Often a certain abdication of prudence and foresight is an element of success.
