The great need at this hour is manly men. We want no goody-goody piety; we have too much of it. We want men who will do right, though the heavens fall, who believe in God, and who will confess Him. —Rev. W. J. Dawson. All the world cries, Where is the man who will save us? We want a man! Don't look so far for this man. You have him at hand. This man—it is you, it is I; it is each one of us!... How to constitute one's self a man? Nothing harder, if one knows not how to will it; nothing easier, if one wills it. —Alexander Dumas.

"First of all," replied the boy James A. Garfield, when asked what he meant to be, "I must make myself a man; if I do not succeed in that, I can succeed in nothing."There is power lying latent everywhere, waiting for the observant eye to discover it.
The gods sell anything and to everybody at a fair price. —Emerson.
All desire knowledge, but no one is willing to pay the price. —Juvenal.
It is better to deserve success than to merely have it; few deserve it who do not attain it. There is no failure in this country for those whose personal habits are good, and who follow some honest calling industriously, unselfishly, and purely. If one desires to succeed, he must pay the price, work.
I would define this "Work" as self-talk, self-realization, making good habits, discovering your capabilities, harnessing the powers within.
Suggestion - It would be better to start chapters from new page.

great
Marden's stories, morals, examples, and unmatched turns of phrase are superior to 99 percent of the self-help literature published today.
Very interesting read. Glad I found it. ~MZ~
As someone else pointed out, the book has sexist statements, but it was written in 1896 years before we could even vote. I didn't strike a star off for that because the times were different then and it would not have seemed out of place. It is an inspirational book find with pithy quotations and I found it highly entertaining. Overall though I must concur with others, it is the quotes that make this book.
"How to Succeed" was written in 1896. The book aims to provide inspiration that would help a person to succeed in life.
Each chapter starts with quotes from various famous people making a point relevant to the topic of the chapter. I really enjoyed the quotes. These quotes are probably the best part of this book.
The book does not reveal any big secrets about how to succeed, rather it provides inspiration for being successful. It suggests not to lose your individuality, be able to stand up for your convictions, to find a way to improve on methods people use and finding that something special that is in demand will propel you to making a fortune.
Some of the language in the book is rather sexist, for example here is a paragraph from "Seize Your Opportunity"
"Of thousands of young women trying to get a living at typewriting, many are so ignorant, so deficient in the common rudiments even, that they spell badly, use bad grammar, and know scarcely anything of punctuation. In fact, they murder the English language. They can copy, "parrot like," and that is about all."
When you read old books you notice how the society changed. It makes you feel good that something like that is not likely to be accepted if it was written today.
