Integrity is the ability to stand by an idea.
You have been the one encounter in my life that can never be repeated.
Worry is a waste of emotional reserves.
Within the extent of your knowledge, you are right.
When I disagree with a rational man, I let reality be our final arbiter; if I am right, he will learn; if I am wrong, I will; one of us will win, but both will profit.
When I die, I hope to go to heaven – whatever the hell that is – and I want to be able to afford the price of admission.
What’s the most depraved type of human being? The man without a purpose.
What is morality? Judgment to distinguish right and wrong, vision to see the truth, courage to act upon it, dedication to that which is good, integrity to stand by the good at any price. But where does one find it?
What is man? He’s just a collection of chemicals with delusions of grandeur.
What greater wealth is there than to own your Me and to spend it on growing? Every living thing must grow. It can’t stand still. It must grow or perish.
Wealth is the product of man’s capacity to think.
We do not think that tragedy is our natural fate and we do not live in chronic dread of disaster. We do not expect disaster until we have specific reason to expect it – and when we encounter it, we are free to fight it. It is not happiness, but suffering that we consider unnatural. It is not success, but calamity that we regard as the abnormal exception in human life.
