| In business for yourself, not by yourself. |
| In every concrete individual, there is a uniqueness that defies formulation. We can feel the touch of it and recognize its taste, so to speak, relishing or disliking, as the case may be, but we can give no ultimate account of it, and we have in the end simply to admire the Creator. |

There must be thousands of conjunctures in which a wealth-bound man must be a slave, whilst a man for whom poverty has no terrors becomes a freeman. |
| It is well for the world that in most of us, by the age of thirty, the character has been set like plaster, and will never soften again. |
| It is wrong always, everywhere, and for everyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence. |
