To lodge all power in one party and keep it there is to insure bad government and the sure and gradual deterioration of the public morals.

I suppose, just as an honest man in politics shines more than he would elsewhere.

Life ain't about how fast you run or how high you climb, It's all about how good you bounce. A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.

Is the human race a joke? Was it devised and patched together in a dull time when there was nothing important to do?

Unconsciously we all have a standard by which we measure other men, and if we examine closely we find that this standard is a very simple one, and is this: we admire them, we envy them, for great qualities we ourselves lack. Hero worship consists in just that. Our heroes are men who do things which we recognize, with regret, and sometimes with a secret shame, that we cannot do. We find not much in ourselves to admire, we are always privately wanting to be like somebody else. If everybody was satisfied with himself, there would be no heroes.
