Congenial labor is the secret of happiness.

I never enter a new company without the hope that I may discover a friend, perhaps the friend, sitting there with an expectant smile. That hope survives a thousand disappointments.

When you get to my age life seems little more than one long march to and from the lavatory.

Ambition often puts Men upon doing the meanest offices; so climbing is performed in the same position with creeping.

I expect that all of us get pretty much what we deserve of appreciation.

Readjusting is a painful process, but most of us need it at one time or another.

Congenial labor is essence of happiness.
