Individualism is what makes cooperation worth living.

To do more for the world than the world does for you – that is success.

Instinct is probably the essence of past experience and knowledge stored up for later use. There are many, you know, who think that this life journey through the world is not the first one we have made.

There is no man living who isn’t capable of doing more than he thinks he can do.

You can do anything, but not everything.

There are people who strictly deprive themselves of each and every eatable, drinkable, and smokable which has in any way acquired a shady reputation. They pay this price for health. And health is all they get for it. How strange it is. It is like paying out your whole fortune for a cow that has gone dry.
