If you are speaking the truth you don't have to remember anything.
The lack of money is the root of all evils.
From his cradle to his grave a man never does a single thing which has any FIRST AND FOREMOST object but one -- to secure peace of mind, spiritual comfort, for HIMSELF.
Necessity is the mother of taking chances.
The man who is a pessimist before 48 knows too much; if he is an optimist after it, he knows too little.
The man with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.
The miracle, or the power, that elevates the few is to be found in their industry, application, and perseverance under the prompting of a brave, determined spirit.
Stars are good too. I wish I could get some to put in my hair. But I suppose I never can. You would be surprised to find how far off they are, for they do not look it. When they first showed last night I tried to knock some down with a pole, but it didn't reach, which astonished me. Then I tried clods till I was all tired out, but I never got one. I did make some close shots, for I saw the black blot of the clod sail right into thee midst of the golden clusters forty or fifty times, just barely missing them, and if I could've held out a little longer, maybe I could've got one.
Pessimism is only the name that men of weak nerve give to wisdom.
Pity is for living, envy is for dead.
Prosperity is the best protector of principle.
