Advice
The best advisers, helpers and friends, always are not those who tell us how to act in special cases, but who give us, out of themselves, the ardent spirit and desire to act right, and leave us then, even through many blunders, to find out what our own form of right action is.
Confidence
Self-confidence is either a petty pride in our own narrowness, or the realization of our duty and privilege as God's children.
Greatness
No one who has come to true greatness has not felt in some degree that his life belongs to the people, and what God has given them he gives it for mankind.
Praise
To say, "well done" to any bit of good work is to take hold of the powers which have made the effort and strengthen them beyond our knowledge.
