For a man with an education the world is a wide place and the opportunities are many

We are, finally, all wanderers in search of knowledge. Most of us hold the dream of becoming something better than we are, something larger, richer, in some way more important to the world and ourselves. Too often, the way taken is the wrong way, with too much emphasis on what we want to have, rather than what we wish to become.

The idea of education has been so tied to schools, universities, and professors that many assume there is no other way, but education is available to anyone within reach of a library, a post office, or even a newsstand.

To die is nothing. One is here, one is no longer here. It is only at the end one must be able to say 'I was a man'.

Ancestry is most important to those who have done nothing themselves.

I do not like violence, but ours is a violent time, and there are some men who understand nothing else.

Knowledge was not meant to be locked behind doors. It breathes best in the open air where all men can inhale its essence.
