The longer I live and the more experience I have of the world, the more I am convinced that, after all, the one thing that is most worth living for-and dying for, if need be-is the opportunity of making someone else more happy.
Never let your work drive you. Master it and keep it in complete control.
There is no escape - man drags man down, or man lifts man up.
Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.
I let no man drag me down so low as to make me hate him.
I would permit no man, no matter what his colour might be, to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.
