Don't simply retire from something; have something to retire to.

I hate war... for the dictatorships it puts in the place of democracies, and for the starvation that stalks after it.

Granted the endless variations of moral customs, still the essential standards persist. As in a scientific laboratory, all else may change but the standards are unalterable- disinterested love of truth, fidelity to facts, accuracy in measurement, exactness of verification-so, in life as a whole, the towering ethical criteria remain unshaken. Falsehood is never better than truth, theft better than than honesty, treachery better than loyalty, cowardice better than courage.

One of the most amazing things ever said on this earth is Jesus's statement: "He that is greatest among you shall be your servant."

Picture yourself vividly as winning, and that alone will contribute immeasurably to success.

The steady discipline of intimate friendship with Jesus results in men becoming like Him.
