I always knew I'd accomplish something very special - like robbing a bank perhaps.

I will praise any man that will praise me.

If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination.

And, I believe that if a man dies with a single penny still sitting in the bank, he's a fool.

I will only praise someone who can't take anything away from me.

Redemption isn't giving a bank robber a job as a teller.

There is no praise to bear the sort that you put in your pocket.

A man must fortify himself and understand that a wise man who yields to laziness or anger or passion or love of drink, or who commits any other action prompted by impulse and inopportune, will probably find his fault condoned; but if he stoops to greed, he will not be pardoned, but render himself odious as a combination of all vices at once.

A rich man without charity is a rogue; and perhaps it would be no difficult matter to prove that he is also a fool.

Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved by blame, but to know thoroughly ones own virtues or powers are the characteristics of an excellent man.
