Why should I clutter my mind with general information when I have men around me who can supply any knowledge I need?

Exercise is bunk. If you are healthy, you don't need it: if you are sick you should not take it.

A low wage business is always insecure.

Records can be destroyed if they do not suit the prejudices of ruling cliques, lost if they become incomprehensible, distorted if a copyist wishes to impose a new meaning upon them, misunderstood if we lack the information to interpret them. The past is like a huge library, mostly fiction.

If governments would only understand that if people are left alone they'll work out their own salvation.

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

I don't expect to retire. Every man must work, that's his natural destiny.
