 Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

 Don't say the old lady screamed. Bring her on and let her scream.

 Drag your thoughts away from your troubles... by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage it.

 Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.

 Each man is afraid of his neighbor's disapproval - a thing which, to the general run of the human race, is more dreaded than wolves and death

 Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let them label you as they may.

 Each of you, for himself, by himself and on his own responsibility, must speak. And it is a solemn and weighty responsibility, and not lightly to be flung aside at the bullying of pulpit, press, government, or the empty catchphrases of politicians. Each must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, and which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your convictions is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let man label you as they may. If you alone of all the nation shall decide one way, and that way be the right way according to your convictions of the right, you have done your duty by yourself and by your country- hold up your head! You have nothing to be ashamed of.

 Each person is born to one possession which out values all his others - his last breath

 Earn a character first if you can. And if you can't, assume one.

 Education consists mainly in what we have unlearned

 Education does not mean teaching people to know what they do not know; it means teaching them to behave as they do not behave.

 Education is the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty.

 Eloquence is the essential thing in a speech, not information

 Epitaphs are cheap, and they do a poor chap a world of good after he is dead, especially if he had hard luck while he was alive. I wish they were used more.

 Eternal rest sounds comforting in the pulpit; well, you try it once, and see how heavy time will hang on your hands
