This article presents motivational sayings of Samuel Smiles, a "giant" of the self-help motivation movement. Smiles' classic book, Self Help, on motivation, personal growth, and success, presents the practical wisdom of scores of highly successful individuals whose lives he studied. First published in England, in 1859, it remains a classic to this day. Beyond being merely motivational, the following inspirational quotes of Smiles teach us how to succeed.
Following each of Smiles' motivational quotations is one or more motivation quotes selected from my own writing, to clarify the value and meaning of Smile's message. To help yourself to success, read and ponder the following motivational sayings, particularly when you need guidance or encouragement.
"A place for everything and everything in its place." S.S.
Organization permits the most immediate progress to our goals.
Orderly environments promote orderly thought, harmonious feeling and well-timed, well-aimed action.
"An intense anticipation itself transforms possibility into
reality..." S.S.
Ultimately, we really do get what we expect. Take charge of your expectations by remembering that whatever you want can be.

"Enthusiasm... (is) the sustaining power of all great action." S.S.
Enthusiasm is a matter of doing what you love
or learning how to love what you do.
The more consistently you live in enthusiasm,
the more spectacular your achievements.
"He who never made a mistake, never made a discovery." S.S.
Making mistakes is the price you have to pay to find a better way.
"Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us." S.S.
Discouragement is a product of looking backward in search of reasons to give up.
Lose the burden of a discouraged spirit by focusing on what you hope for and on how to make it happen.
"Labor is... the inevitable price set upon everything which is valuable." S.S.
Work is the bridge between where you are
You can worry or work for what you want. Work works!
"(He who)... hopes has within him the gift of miracles." S.S.
However dire your present circumstances may seem, for all you know you stand at the brink of the miracle
you have been working and praying for.
Let thoughts and feelings of discouragement pass and let hope fuel and direct your efforts. Nothing is impossible
"The mighty fall, and the humble are exalted." S.S.
Whatever you may have achieved,
aspire ever higher or begin your fall.
Fortune prefers the humble attitude of the beginner to the haughty attitude of the has-been.
"Lost time is gone forever." S.S.
Do what you believe in the most right now.
Worrying about not having enough time is, perhaps, the biggest waste of time.
One of the best uses of time is to take time to consider how to best use your time right now.
Make this moment an investment into what you want to happen by doing what you can for what you want.
As powerful, positive, and practical as these motivational sayings are, we have not even scratched the surface of the wealth of wisdom writing of the late, great self-help motivation "giant", Samuel Smiles.
