Orison Swett Marden
To have done no man a wrong...to walk and live, unseduced, within arm's length of what is not your own, with nothing between your desire and its gratification but the invisible law of rectitude-this is to be a man.
Orison Swett Marden
Paradise is here or nowhere: you must take your joy with you or you will never find it.
Orison Swett Marden
The quality of your work, in the long run, is the deciding factor on how much your services are valued by the world.
Orison Swett Marden
We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.
Orison Swett Marden
One penny may seem to you a very insignificant thing, but it is the small seed from which fortunes spring.
Orison Swett Marden
There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.
