- An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't.
- Fear less, hope more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Hate less, love more; And all good things are yours. Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
- Well done is better than well said.
- I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable. There is something unfair about its use. It is hitting below the intellect.
- A liberal is man who will give away everything he doesn't own.
- We don't grow unless we take risks. Any successful company is riddled with failures.
- A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.
- I have long been of the opinion that if work were such a splendid thing the rich would have kept more of it for themselves.
- The little that is completed, vanishes from the sight of one who looks forward to what is still to do.
- The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.
- The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
- The test of a man's or woman's breeding is how they behave in a quarrel. Anybody can behave well when things are going smoothly.
- The greatest pleasure I know, is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found out by accident.
- Have a good cry, wash out your heart. If you keep it inside it'll tear you apart. Sometimes you lose, but you're gonna win if you just hang on.
- Mankind are animals that makes bargains, no other animal does this.
- Jealousy is no more than feeling alone against smiling enemies.
- Life is like an onion; you peel off one layer at a time and sometimes you weep.
