He who lives only to benefit himself confers on the world a benefit when he dies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
He who asks of life nothing but the improvement of his own nature... is less liable than anyone else to miss and waste life.
I believe in two things: One, Andrew Carnegie said, 'He who dies with wealth dies in shame.' And someone once said, 'He who gives while he lives also knows where it goes.'
Just as he who gives his life to serve a great idea is admirable, he who avails himself of a great idea to serve his personal hopes of glory and power is abominable, even if he too risks his life.
He who has so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts.
What a man does for others, not what they do for him, gives him immortality.
He works his business and manipulates and keeps himself in front of the world.
A man's prime interest in life must be his work.
For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?
The affairs of life embrace a multitude of interests, and he who reasons in any one of them, without consulting the rest, is a visionary unsuited to control the business of the world.
