Home › Fortune Cookies › Quotations By Famous People

For want of self-restraint many men are engaged all their lives in
fighting with difficulties of their own making, and rendering success
impossible by their own cross-grained ungentleness; whilst others, it
may be much less gifted, make their way and achieve success by simple
patience, equanimity, and self-control.
-- Samuel Smiles
