"Good criticism is very rare and always..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Ideas must work through the brains and the arms of good and brave men or they are no better than dreams.”

“It is dainty to be sick if you have leisure and convenience for it.”

“Happy is the hearing man; unhappy the speaking man.”

“We [americans] are not a freedom-loving people in the beautiful, spiritual sense. We have an inspiring Constitution, but we're a hardhearted people.”

“I don't understand how they can call me anti-Latino, when I've made four movies in Mexico.”

“In every community there are little knots of fantastic extremists who loudly proclaim that they are striving for righteousness, and who, in reality, do their feeble best for unrighteousness. Just as the upright politician should hold in peculiar scorn the man who makes the name of politician a reproach and a shame, so the genuine reformer should realize that the cause he champions is especially jeopardized by the mock reformer who does what he can to make reform a laughingstock among decent men.”

“Men are like bank accounts. The more money, the more interest they generate.”

“Why do we make so much of knowledge, struggle so hard to get some little skill not worth the effort?”

“A man's worth has its season, like fruit.”
