Preston Bradley Quote

The world has a way of giving what is demanded of it. If you are frightened and look for failure and poverty you will get them no matter how hard you may try to succeed. Lack of faith in yourself in what life will do for you cuts you off from the good things of the world. Expect victory and you make victory. Nowhere is this truer than in business that is where bravery and faith bring both material and spiritual rewards.
