“The greatest blessing of our democracy is freedom. But in the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to discipline ourselves.”

“Never follow the crowd.”

“Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.”

“If you get all the facts, your judgment can be right; if you don't get all the facts, it can't be right.”

“We did not all come over on the same ship, but we are all in the same boat.”

“Let us not deceive ourselves; we must elect world peace or world destruction.”

“Unless each man produces more than he receives, increases his output, there will be less for him than all the others.”

“One of the secrets of a long and fruitful life is to forgive everybody everything everynight before you go to bed.”

“If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”

“If a speculator is correct half of the time, he is hitting a good average. Even being right 3 or 4 times out of 10 should yield a person a fortune if he has the sense to cut his losses quick...”

“There are no such things as incurable, there are only things for which man has not found a cure.”
