Throughout my life, I have always found that events which seemed at the time disastrous ultimately developed into positive blessings.

Years in themselves mean nothing. How we live them means everything.

Popular magazines multiply while the library shelves remain undisturbed.

Storehouses filled with merchandise will prove a better guarantee than arsenals bulging with ammunition.

There is no intolerance in the world so great as the intolerance of tolerance, and no bigotry so excessive as the bigotry of the image breaker. To praise the devil is second nature. To praise God is an education.

No influence so quickly converts a radical into a reactionary as does his election to power.

The praise of injudicious friends frequently fosters bad mannerisms.
