"I am not much of a mathematician," said the cigarette, "but I can add to a man's nervous troubles, I can subtract from his physical energy, I can multiply his aches and pains, I can divide his mental powers, I take interest from his work, and discount his chances for success."

There is no real excellence in all this world which can be separated from right living.

Whatever you attempt, go at it with spirit.

When a dog barks at the moon, then it is religion; but when he barks at strangers, it is patriotism!

Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it.

To say no at the right time, and then stand by it, is the first element of success. He is the wise man who, for all his life, can keep mind and soul and body clean.

No one is really miserable who has not tried to cheapen life.
