“I care not for a man’s religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.”

I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.

All I have learned, I learned from books.

Get books, sit yourself down anywhere, and go to reading them yourself.

Those who write clearly have readers, those who write obscurely have commentators.

I do the very best I know how, the very best I can, and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.

My father taught me to work; he did not teach me to love it.

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and, under a just God cannot retain it.

No matter how much the cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens.

I don’t know who my grandfather was; I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.

The man who murdered his parents, and then pleaded for mercy on the grounds that he was an orphan.

I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.

I don’t like that man. I must get to know him better.

The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.

I laugh because I must not cry, that is all, that is all.

If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.

I don’t care about revenues.

The worse feeling is when someone makes you feel special, then suddenly leaves you hanging, and you have to act like you don’t care at all.

You lose nothing when fighting for a cause. In my mind the losers are those who don’t have a cause they care about.

One should go to the woods for safety, if for nothing else.

Do a good job. You don’t have to worry about the money; it will take care of itself. Just do your best work – then try to trump it.

Your business, and your brand must first let people know what you care about and that you care about them.

I’ve been running a lot, taking care of myself.
