The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.

It were not best that we should all think alike; it is difference of opinion that makes horse races.

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.

Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability.

You can't learn in school what the world is going to do next year.

You will find men who want to be carried on the shoulders of others, who think that the world owes them a living. They don't seem to see that we must all lift together and pull together.

I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can't be done.

Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.
