I wish to learn what life has to teach, and not, when I come to die, discover that I have not truly lived.

I would not have any one adopt my mode of living on any account.

A thoroughbred business man cannot enter heartily upon the business of life without first looking into his accounts.

Every oak tree started out as a couple of nuts who stood their ground.

If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined...

I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual. It is surprising how contented one can be with nothing definite - only a sense of existence. Well, anything for variety.
