Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.

Washington is no place in which to carry out inventions

I have always considered myself as an Agnostic.

America is a country of inventors, and the greatest of inventors are the newspaper men.

A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with - a man is what he makes of himself.

Man is an animal which, alone among the animals, refuses to be satisfied by the fulfillment of animal desires.

The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion.
