Transcending Thought

A genius is simply one who has taken full possession of his own mind and directed it towars objectives of his choosing, without permitting out-side influences to discourage or mislead him.

Quotes by W. Mathews

Difficulty is the soil in which all manly and womanly qualities best flourish; and the true worker, in any sphere, is continually coping with difficulties. His very failures, throwing him upon his own resources, cultivate energy and resolution; his hardships teach him fortitude; his successes inspire self-reliance. It cannot be too often repeated that it is not helps, but obstacles; not facilites, but difficulties that make men.
