Att åldras är en dålig vana som en verksam man alls icke lägger sig till med.

Alder

People are what you make them. A scornful look turns into a complete fool a man of average intelligence. A contemptuous indifference turns into an enemy a woman who, well treated, might have been an angel.

Folk

The first recipe for happiness is: Avoid too lengthy meditation on the past.

Business is a combination of war and sport.

Affärslivet

Modesty and unselfishness: These are the virtues which men praise, and pass by

Själviskhet

The effectiveness of work increases according to geometric progression if there are no interruptions.

The need to express oneself in writing springs from a mal-adjustment to life, or from an inner conflict which the adolescent (or the grown man) cannot resolve in action. Those to whom action comes as easily as breathing rarely feel the need to break loose from the real, to rise above, and describe it... I do not mean that it is enough to be maladjusted to become a great writer, but writing is, for some, a method of resolving a conflict, provided they have the necessary talent.

A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.

Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy man has no time to form

Alder

Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year's time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings.

There are deserts in every life, and the desert must be depicted if we are to give a fair and complete idea of the country.

Liv

Lost Illusion is the undisclosed title of every novel.

All of us, from time to time, need a plunge into freedom and novelty, after which routine and discipline will seem delightful by contrast

Disciplin

A marriage without conflicts is almost as inconceivable as a nation without crises.

If men could regard the events of their own lives with more open minds, they would frequently discover that they did not really desire the things they failed to obtain.
