Our admiration is so given to dead martyrs that we have little time for living heroes.

Talent does things tolerably well; genius does then intolerably better

Souls are made of dawn-stuff and starshine.

Public opinion is the judgment of the incapable many opposed to that of the discerning few.

If you work for a man, in heavens name work for him! If he pays you wages that supply you your bread and butter, work for him speak well of him, think well of him, stand by him and stand by the institution he represents. I think if I worked for a man I would work for him. I would not work for him a part of the time, and the rest of the time work against him. I would give an undivided service or none. If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.

Business is a fight, a continual struggle, just as life is

Genius is only the power of making continuous efforts.
