Hardly ever can a youth transferred to the society of his betters unlearn the nasality and other vices of speech bred in him by the associations of his growing years. Hardly ever, indeed, no matter how much money there be in his pocket, can he ever learn to dress like a gentleman-born.

There is but one unconditional commandment ... to bring about the very largest total universe of good which we can see.

Most unhappiness is caused because people listen to themselves... instead of talking to themselves.

It is your friends who make your world.
