    Much of the success of life depends upon keeping one’s mind open to opportunity and seizing it when it comes.
    —Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    Competition is. In every business, no matter how small or how large, someone is just around the corner forever trying to steal your ideas and build his success out of your imagination, struggling after that which you have toiled endless years to secure, striving to outdo you in each and every way. If such a competitor would work as hard to originate as he does to copy, he would much more quickly gain success.
    —Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    Poverty is relative, and the lack of food and of the necessities of life is not necessarily a hardship. Spiritual and social ostracism, the invasion of your privacy, are what constitute the pain of poverty.
    —Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
