“The sun shines upon good and bad alike.”

“My life is a lovely story, happy and full of incident.”

“The wiser a man becomes, the more he will read, and those who are wisest read most.”

“Do not be afraid of a small beginning. great things come afterwards. Be courageous. Do not try to lead your brethren, but serve them. The brutal mania for leading has sunk many a great ships in the waters of life. Take care especially of that, i.e. be unselfish even unto death, and work.”

“Leadership is the readiness to stand out in a crowd.”

“It is the courage to make a clean breast of it in the face of every question that makes the philosopher.”

“Why worry one's head over a thing that is inevitable? Why die before one's death?”

“Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back.”

“When I die, my epitaph or whatever you call those signs on gravestones is going to read: "I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I didn't like."”
