Whatever it is, people who have more spare time than people ever had before get the sense of whirlwind pressure,and repeat the common criticism that ‘we are going too fast.’ Yet the people live longer than ever before, live with less effort, live on a higher plane.

Life, as I see it, is not a location, but a journey. Life flows.

Competition whose motive is merely to compete, to drive some other fellow out, never carries very far.

Children have helped me a lot.

Youth should not be slandered. Boy nature and girl nature are less repressed and therefore more wholesome today than before. If they at times seem unimpressed by their elders, it is probably because we make a matter of authority what should be a matter of conference.

The best car safety device is a rear-view mirror with a cop in it.
