Pessimist: One who has been intimately acquainted with an Optimist.

Success consists in the climb.

If you have health, you probably will be happy, and if you have health and happiness, you have all the wealth you need, even if it is not all you want.

Constant effort and frequent mistakes are the stepping stones to genius.

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.

The only man who makes money following the races is one who does it with a broom and shovel.

The secret of success is this: there is no secret of success.
