“Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting — in the trying, not the triumph.

Quote source: Ziglar has often used this saying, but it originates with Phillips Brooks, as quoted in ‪Primary Education‬ (1916) by Elizabeth Peabody.

“Little men with little minds and little imaginations go through life in little ruts, smugly resisting all changes which would jar their little worlds.”
