The idea that to make a man work you've got to hold gold in front of his eyes is a growth, not an axiom. We've done that for so long that we've forgotten there's any other way.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Men of genius sometimes accomplish most when they work the least, for they are thinking out inventions and forming in their minds the perfect idea that they subsequently express with their hands.
Whenever ideas fail, men invent words.
Man keeps inventing things all the time.
We are poor, feeble, and blind mortals when the eye of the Almighty looks through all worlds and by his power executes all things aright, and by his grace, he makes us all rich in Heavenly Gifts. In distress and in bereavements, we can look only to him. From mortals like ourselves we can derive no help.
For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him he must regard himself as greater than he is.
For gold is tried in the fire and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity.
We believe that if men have the talent to invent new machines that put men out of work, they have the talent to put those men back to work.
Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.
Man never had an idea - man will never have an idea, except those supplied to him by his surroundings. Every idea in the world that man has came to him by nature.
Man cannot produce a single work without the assistance of the slow, assiduous, corrosive worm of thought.
