"If you wish to make a man..." - Quote by Henry C Link

“Psychologically I should say that a person becomes an adult at the point when he produces more than he consumes or earns more than he spends. This may be at the age of eighteen, twenty-five, or thirty-five. Some people remain unproductive and dependent children forever and therefore intellectually and emotionally immature.”

“No discovery of modern psychology is, in my opinion, so important as its scientific proof of the necessity of self-sacrifice (or discipline) to self-realization and happiness.”

“Fear is nature's warning signal to get busy.”

“You and I were long friends: you are now my enemy, and I am yours.”

“No triumph of peace is quite so great as the supreme triumphs of war.”

“Where love stops, power begins, and violence, and terror”

“An eye can threaten like a loaded and levelled gun, or it can insult like hissing or kicking; or, in its altered mood, by beams of kindness, it can make the heart dance for joy. ... One of the most wonderful things in nature is a glance of the eye; it transcends speech; it is the bodily symbol of identity.”

“It has seemed to be more necessary to have regard to the weight of words rather than to their number.”

“Never [enter] into dispute or argument with another. I never yet saw an instance of one of two disputants convincing the other by argument. I have seen many on their getting warm, becoming rude and shooting one another.”
