"Do not begin life fancying that such a fine young fellow as you are, one so spruce, so handsome, so well dressed, so accomplished in various ways, deserves a high place. Do not flatter yourself that life owes you more than it owes anybody else. It owes you, in common with all others, just as much fruit as, climbing, you can bring down. It owes you a 'chance to be something,' it will give you that and nothing more." Orison Swett Marden.
