As a cure for worrying, work is far better than whiskey. I always found that, if I began to worry, the best thing I could do was focus upon doing something useful and then work very hard at it. Soon, I would forget what was troubling me.

A failure teaches you that something can't be done-that way.

The successful person makes a habit of doing what the failing person doesn't like to do.

I have far more respect for the person with a single idea who gets there than for the person with a thousand ideas who does nothing.

I remember that I was never able to get along at school. I was at the foot of the class.

A good intention, with a bad approach, often leads to a poor result.

The Bible of nature is the best damn Bible in the world. Its laws are perfect and grand, and all the prayers in the world can't change them. There is intelligence and law in this world, and there may be supreme intelligence and law, but so far as the religion of the day is concerned, it is all a damned fake.
