When people are educated, the distinction between classes disappears.

I never really said all those things I said

A good man does not make a warrior, just as good steel does not go for nails.

A gentleman does not promote a man on account of what he says; nor does he reject sayings, because the speaker is what he is.

Ask yourself constantly, "What is the right thing to do?" Behave toward everyone as if receiving a great guest.

The superior man has a dignified ease without pride. The mean man has pride without a dignified ease.

Ability will never catch up with the demand for it.
