What you know is a club for yourself, and what you don't know is a meat-ax for the other fellow.

Consider carefully before you say a hard word to a man, but never let a chance to say a good one go by. Praise judiciously bestowed is money invested.

Never ask a man what he knows, but what he can do.

It is good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good too, to check up once in a while and make sure you haven't lost the things money can't buy.

Colleges don't make fools, they only develop them.

Believe me, it is no time for words when the wounds are fresh and bleeding; no time for homilies when the lightning's shaft has smitten, and the man lies stunned and stricken. Then let the comforter be silent; let him sustain by his presence, not by his preaching; by his sympathetic silence, not by his speech.

In all your dealings, remember that today is your opportunity; tomorrow some other fellow's.
