  • When he mounted the stairs to his father's office he mounted them three at a time. You heard him crashing down again, whistling as he came. Except for the whistling, if someone had thrown him it would have sounded the same way.

  • The more you do the more you can do. Energy begets energy.

  • Energy is the power that drives every human being. It is not lost by exertion but maintained by it, for it is a faculty of the psyche.

  • ... the brightest light burns the quickest.

  • Will and energy sometimes prove greater than either genius or talent or temperament.

  • Energy rightly applied and directed will accomplish anything.
