"The secret of success lies never in..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not 'studying a profession', for he does not postpone his life, but lives already. He has not one chance, but a hundred chances.”

“The selfish man suffers more from his selfishness than he from whom that selfishness withholds some important benefit.”

“America is not civil, whilst Africa is barbarous.”

“If the ingredients for happiness are not within a person, no material success or entertainment or platinum credit cards can make that person smile.”

“Everything he wanna have-I got.”

“Absolute identity with one's cause is the first and great condition of successful leadership.”

“No politician is ever benefited by saving money; it is spending it that makes him.”

“I like thieves. Some of my best friends are thieves. Why, just last week we had the president of the bank over for dinner.”

“It is remarkable that there are few men so well employed, so much to their minds, but that a little money or fame would commonly buy them off from their present pursuit.”
