"The bigger the 'flat' [apartment], the harder one has to work. If the 'flat' is worth six hundred thousand, then he has to work six times as hard. If it is three hundred thousand, he has to work three times over. One simply has to keep on working hard, doesn't he?"

"It is never worth while to absolutely exhaust one's self or to take big chances unless for an adequate object."
Motivation
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president... is morally treasonable to the American public."
Freedom

Childhood

Wisdom

Society
"The boy who is going to make a great man must not make up his mind merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand repulses and defeats."
Motivational
"One of our defects as a nation is a tendency to use what have been called "weasel words." When a weasel sucks eggs the meat is sucked out of the egg. If you use a "weasel word" after another there is nothing left of the other."
Knowledge
"No great intellectual thing was ever done by great effort."
Wisdom
"Books are almost as individual as friends. There is no earthly use in laying down general laws about them. Some meet the needs of one person, and some of another; and each person should beware of the booklover's besetting sin, of what Mr. Edgar Allan Poe calls 'the mad pride of intellectuality,' taking the shape of arrogant pity for the man who does not like the same kind of books."
Literature
"There were all kinds of things I was afraid of at first, ranging from grizzly bears to 'mean' horses and gun-fighters; but by acting as if I was not afraid I gradually ceased to be afraid."
