“The future of the world is with the man who is a creator, who can do things.”

“The man who cannot believe in himself cannot believe in anything else.”

“A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one.”

“The man who has a thing to sell and goes and whispers it down a well, is not so apt to get the dollars as he who climbs a tree and hollers.”

“The more a man knows, the more he is inclined to be modest.”

“The world is run by tired men.”

“Every man ought to be a half-god, a hero, to himself.”
