Children are the keys of paradise.

To grow old is to grow common. Old age equalizes -- we are aware that what is happening to us has happened to untold numbers from the beginning of time. When we are young we act as if we were the first young people in the world.

When the Greeks said, Whom the gods love die young, they probably meant, as Lord Sankey suggested, that those favored by the gods stay young till the day they die; young and playful.

We probably have a greater love for those we support than for those who support us. Our vanity carries more weight than our self-interest.

First something is a great idea, then it becomes a cause, then it becomes a business and finally it becomes a racket.

Far more crucial than what we know or do not know is what we do not want to know.

Successful action tends to become an end in itself.
