"No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent."

"Until we have begun to compose ourselves, we are but children."

"It is a man's mind which makes him happy or unhappy."

"What man can you show me who places any value on his time, who sets a daily price on each day, who understands that he is dying daily?"

"Associate with those who will make a better man of you. Welcome those whom you yourself can improve. The process is mutual; for men learn while they teach."
