The grossest thing in our gross national product today is our language. It is suffering from inflation. You might as well fall flat on your face as lean over too far backward. How shall I love the sin, yet keep the sense, And love the offender, yet detest the offence? The present is the living sum-total of the whole past. Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. When a man is gloomy, everything seems to go wrong; when he is cheerful, everything seems right! All my possessions for a moment of time. Clothes and courage have much to do with each other. Pray for one another. Men love to wonder and that is the seed of our science. I could prove God statistically. Happiness is produced not so much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen, as by little advantages that occur every day. There is no cure for birth or death save to enjoy the interval. You may have the universe if I may have Italy. Running for money doesn't make you run fast. It makes you run first. I'm Jewish. I don't work out. If God had wanted us to bend over, he would have put diamonds on the floor. You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family. The passions are the only orators which always persuade. If you are scared to go to the brink, you are lost. I count him lost, who is lost to shame.
