“But the wise know that foolish legislation is a rope of sand, which perishes in the twisting; that the State must follow, and notlead the character and progress of the citizen; the strongest usurper is quickly got rid of; and they only who build on Ideas, build for eternity; and that the form of government which prevails, is the expression of what cultivation exists in the population which permits it.”

“There comes a time in each man's education in which he comes to the conclusion that envy is ignorance, imitation is suicide, and society in in conspiracy against each one of its members.”

“Man shows his character best in trifles.”

“Clothes and manners do not make the man; but when he is made, they greatly improve his appearance.”

“Being brilliant is no great feat if you respect nothing.”

“If you want your business to survive for 100 years, you've got to make it through every single day for 100 years. It's not enough to do it 99.9% of the time.”

“Success doesn’t come from what you do occasionally, it comes from what you do consistently.”

“Success is achieved in inches, not miles.”
