Money is more trouble than it is worth.

I am the inferior of any man whose rights I trample underfoot.

Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.

You may be witty, but not satirical.

Washington is not a place to live in. The rents are high, the food is bad, the dust is disgusting and the morals are deplorable. Go West, young man, go West and grow up with the country.

Do not lounge in the cities! There is room & health in the country, away from the crowds of idlers & imbeciles. Go west, before you are fitted for no life but that of the factory.

The word "rest" is not in my vocabulary.
