    It is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.

    It is an interesting question how far men would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes.

    It is best to avoid the beginnings of evil.

    It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are... than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise.

    It is never too late to give up our prejudices.

    It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?

    It is what a man thinks of himself that really determines his fate.

    It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.

    Men are born to succeed, not to fail.

    Men have a respect for scholarship and learning greatly out of proportion to the use they commonly serve.

    Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.

    Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.

    Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.
