Quote

A man's prime interest in life must be his work.

It's motive alone which gives character to the actions of men.

A man is what he thinks about all day long.

A man generally has two reasons for doing a thing. One that sounds good, and a real one.

The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom.

Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man's happiness really lies in contentment.

It contributes greatly towards a man's moral and intellectual health, to be brought into habits of companionship with individuals unlike himself, who care little for his pursuits, and whose sphere and abilities he must go out of himself to appreciate.

The important thing is that men should have a purpose in life. It should be something useful, something good.

Man is an idea, and a precious small idea once he turns his back on love.
