Laws die, books never. Master books, but do not let them master you. Read to live, not live to read. There is no man so friendless but what he can find a friend sincere enough to tell him disagreeable truths. In life it is difficult to say who do you the most mischief, enemies with the worst intentions, or friends with the best. A good cigar is as great a comfort to a man as a good cry is to a woman. A good heart is better than all the heads in the world. Genius does what it must, and talent does what it can. The magic of the tongue is the most dangerous of all spells. The pen is mightier than the sword. Genius does what it must, talent does what it can. When a person is down in the world, an ounce of help is better than a pound of preaching. Strike from mankind the principle of faith, and men would have no more history than a flock of sheep. Take in the ideas of the day, drain off those of yesterday. As to the morrow, time enough to consider it when it becomes today. Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm; it moves stones, it charms brutes. Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity, and truth accomplishes no victories without it. Genius does what it must, talent does what it can. Genius does what it must, talent does what it can. The man who succeeds above his fellows is the one who early in life discerns his object and toward that object habitually directs his powers. Even genius itself is but fine observation strengthened by fixity of purpose. |
