I am a generous man, by nature, and far more trusting than I should be. Indeed. The real world is risky territory for people with generosity of spirit. Beware.

Men who know themselves are no longer fools. They stand on the threshold of the door of Wisdom.

Flattery and deceit are the darlings of great men, and so with these men spread the butter on thick, if you want to get something out of them, otherwise you'll come home to me with a full belly and an empty purse.

I'm known as a strange, aloof kind of man. But all I'm doing is trying to protect myself and my work.

I'm looking to no man walking this earth for approval of what I'm doing.

Work with some men is as besetting a sin as idleness.

I think I'm quite a lazy person, actually. If I'm not careful, I could just stay in bed all day.

I'd be foolish not to take some of these opportunities that are coming my way.

What ordinary men are directly aware of and what they try to do are bounded by the private orbits in which they live; their visions and their powers are limited.
