Books are not men and yet they stay alive.
From Henry Ward Beecher
You and I do not see things as they are. We see things as we are.
The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right.
It is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.
It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has.
Every young man would do well to remember that all successful business stands on the foundation of morality.
A book is good company. It is full of conversation without loquacity. It comes to your longing with full instruction, but pursues you never.
If a man cannot be a Christian in the place where he is, he cannot be a Christian anywhere.
To know that one has a secret is to know half the secret itself.
The ability to convert ideas to things is the secret of outward success.
