Young man, make your name worth something.

It marks a big step in your development when you come to realize that other people can help you do a better job than you could do alone.

Watch the costs and the profits will take care of themselves.

There is little success where there is little laughter.

There are two types of people who never achieve very much in their lifetimes. One is the person who won't do what he or she is told to do, and the other is the person who does no more than he or she is told to do.

If it is right that schools should be maintained by the whole community for the well-being of the whole, it is right also that libraries should be so maintained.

It was from my own early experience that I decided there was no use to which money could be applied so productive of good to girls and boys who have good within them and ability and ambition to develop it as the founding of a public library.
