No more I do, your Majesty. But what's that got to do with it? I might as well die on a wild goose chase as die here.

“If no set of moral ideas were truer or better than any other, there would be no sense in preferring civilised morality to savage morality.”
“The true reader reads every work seriously in the sense that he reads it whole-heartedly, makes himself as receptive as he can. But for that very reason he cannot possibly read every work solemly or gravely. For he will read 'in the same spirit that the author writ.'... He will never commit the error of trying to munch whipped cream as if it were venison.”
“No interviews without appointments except between nine and ten p.m. on second Saturdays.”
More on Determination
“Men of action usually win - that is one of their distinctive features.”
“It don't stop 'til the casket drop.”
“There is no good reason why we should fear the future, but there is every reason why we should face it seriously, neither hiding from ourselves the gravity of the problems before us nor fearing to approach these problems with the unbending, unflinching purpose to solve them aright.”
More on Purpose
“Never forget that the universe is a single living organism possessed of one substance and one soul, holding all things suspended in a single consciousness and creating all things with a single purpose that they might work together spinning and weaving and knotting whatever comes to pass.”
“Career is the stringing together of opportunities and jobs. Mix in public opinion and past regrets. Add a dash of future panic and a whole lot of financial uncertainty. Career is something that fools you into thinking you are in control and then takes pleasure in reminding you that you aren't. Career is the thing that will not fill you up and will never make you truly whole.”
“I have four daughters and eight grandchildren. My soul lives on in them. That's immortality. That's the only immortality I care about.”
