To have what you want is wealth. to
do without is power.
In order to win success a man must
first fall in love with his work.
The world has no time for visionary
man-until after he gets there.
All men are anxious for fame, but
some will accept money as a substitute.
Education Is a good thing, provided
it does not unfit a man for honest
labor.
1t isn't always safe TO bump up
against train Of thought when IT'S in
motion.
When meek man marres a strenu'
Gus woman he soon discovers that he
is Outclassed.
A good many things are more or less
adulterated, but most political speeches
are pure bosh.
