What the whole community comes to believe in grasps the individual as in a vise.

If it works, it's true.

The most immutable barrier in nature is between one man's thoughts and another's.

Equality is attainable as long as you are part of the majority.

Of course, this has its good side as well as its bad one. As we become permanent drunkards by so may separate drinks, so we become saints in the moral, and authorities and experts in the practical and scientific spheres, by so many separate acts and hours of work. Let no youth have any anxiety about the upshot of his education, whatever the line of it may be. If he keep faithfully busy each hour of the working day, he may safely leave the final result to itself.

The greatest weapon we have to combat stress is the ability to choose our thoughts.

The community stagnates without the impulse of the individual. The impulse dies away without the sympathy of the community.
