Don't expect people to respect you for what you are "planning" to do.

To do more for the world than the world does for you - that is success.

You take all the experience and judgment of men over 50 out of the world and there wouldn't be enough left to run it.

Progress is not made by pulling off a series of stunts. Each step has to be regulated. A man cannot expect to progress without thinking.

You are the Master of your Fate, the Captain of your Soul.

Life is work, and everything you do is so much more experience. Sometimes you work for wages, sometimes not, but what does anybody make but a living? And whatever you have you must either use or lose.
