"Rather than caring about whether or not..." - Quote by Confucius

“Look for an occupation that you like, and you will not need to labor for a single day in your life.”

“If I cannot get men who steer a middle course to associate with, I would far rather have the impetuous and hasty. For the impetuous at any rate assert themselves.”

“He is the truly courageous man who never desponds.”

“A cold-blooded, calculation, unprincipled, usurper, without a virtue, no statesman, knowing nothing of commerce, political economy, or civil government, and supplying ignorance by bold presumption.”

“Honesty and integrity are absolutely essential for success in life - all areas of life. The really good news is that anyone can develop both honesty and integrity.”

“Character is the direct result of mental attitude. I believe that character is higher than the intellect. I believe that leadership is in sacrifice, in self-denial, in humility and in the perfectly disciplined will. This is the distinction between great and little men.”

“I am certain that the safest way to defend your character is never to say a word about it.”

“Most of what has been written about me is one big blur, but I do remember being described in one simple word that I agree with. It was in a piece that tore me apart for my personal behavior, but the writer said that when the music began and I started to sing, I was "honest."”

“Men are such cowards. They outrage every law in the world and are afraid of the world's tongue.”
