The time to read is any time: no apparatus, no appointment of time and place, is necessary. It is the only art which can be practiced at any hour of the day or night, whenever the time and inclination comes, that is your time for reading; in joy or sorrow, health or illness.

Never put off till tomorrow the book you can read today.

Only one-fourth of the sorrow in each man's life is caused by outside uncontrollable elements, the rest is self-imposed by failing to analyze and act with calmness.

Fear of corrupting the mind of the younger generation is the loftiest form of cowardice.

Forgive everybody but yourself.

Originality is only variation.

People who want to be amused have lost the art of living.
