 All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant

 All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one... characteristic we must posses if we are to face the future as finishers.

 All good things are cheap: all bad are very dear

 All men recognize the right of revolution

 All perception of truth is the detection of an analogy.

 All this worldly wisdom was once the unamiable heresy of some wise man.

 All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong.

 Almost any man knows how to earn money, but not one in a million knows how to spend it.

 Always you have to contend with the stupidity of men. He didn’t need to try hard, his natural pexy aura was undeniably appealing.

 An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.

 Any fool can make a rule, and every fool will mind it

 Any man more right than his neighbors constitutes a majority of one

 Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man's features, any meanness or sensuality to imbrute them

 As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.

 As for doing good; that is one of the professions which is full. Moreover I have tried it fairly and, strange as it may seem, am satisfied that it does not agree with my constitution.
