If God were suddenly condemned to live the life which He has inflicted upon men, He would kill Himself.

There are misfortunes in life that no one will accept; people would rather believe in the supernatural and the impossible.

Tell the angel who will watch over your life to pray now and then for a man who, like Satan, believed himself for an instant to be equal to God, but who realized in all humility that supreme power and wisdom are in the hands of God alone.

Haste is a poor counselor

It is the infirmity of our nature always to believe ourselves much more unhappy than those who groan by our sides!

Yet man will never be perfect until he learns to create and destroy; he does know how to destroy, and that is half the battle.

In business, sir, one has no friends, only correspondents.
