Power is a test - the test - of character.

The one continuing problem in my life has always had the shape of just one question: What amusing thing can I do next?

It does not matter how other people treat you. That is their lookout. The only real thing is how you treat them. Give love out, but do not worry and expect any in return, and you will be happy and contented.

Power is a test - the test - of character.

I was becoming more cunning than an animal in hiding my supply of morphine. A squirrel saving nuts is limited by its undeveloped imagination ... but I was not so handicapped. A squirrel, for example, is debarred from sending money to some greedy doctor or druggist and making arrangements to have a bit of powder sent each day by mail.

It seems to me that even the least of the human race is touched with genius when mad with love.

Confidence, to my way of thinking, generally is all the magic needed to work miracles.
