Thus education forms the common mind; Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined. The dust and silence of the upper shelf. Tell me thy company and I will tell thee what thou art. He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything. The past and present are only our means; the future is always our end. Thus we never really live, but only hope to live. Good Americans, when they die, go to Paris. Teach us to give and not to count the cost. I do not care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members. The integrity of men is to be measured by their conduct, not by their professions. Remember always that you have not only the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one. To carry a grudge is like being stung to death by one bee. Those who have suffered understand suffering and therefore extend their hand. My specialty is detached malevolence. All our geese are swans. I exercise self-control and never touch any beverage stronger than gin before breakfast. Some of the biggest failures I ever had were successes. One is nearer God's heart in a garden Than anywhere else on earth. Keep your promises to yourself. A good husband should be deaf and a good wife blind. Labor disgraces no man; unfortunately, you occasionally find men who disgrace labor.
