We are not punished for our sins, but by them.

Good health! Whenever you go out of doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of your head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost; drink in sunshine; greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every handclasp. Do not fear being misunderstood and never waste a minute thinking about your enemies.

Everything comes too late for those who only wait.

Rivalry is the life of trade, and the death of the trader.

If you work for a man, in heaven's name work for him, speak well of him, and stand by the institution he represents. Remember, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must growl, condemn, and eternally find fault - resign your position, and when you are outside, damn to your heart's content - but as long as you are part of the institution, do not condemn it. If you do, the first high wind that comes along will blow you away, and probably you will never know why.

Love is not really blind- the bandage is never so tight but that it can peep.

We will not be dictated to by men with less intelligence, energy, initiative and ambition than we ourselves possess.
