“There is many a virtuous woman weary of her trade.”

“Men give away nothing so liberally as their advice.”

“The whole value of the dime is in knowing what to do with it.”

“The law of work seems unfair, but nothing can change it; the more enjoyment you get out of your work, the more money you will make.”

“Money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace & conspire against it in times of adversity.”

“I have failed many times, but I have never gone into a game expecting myself to fail.”

“Only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.”

“I may not be the man I want to be; I may not be the man I ought to be; I may not be the man I could be; I may not be the man I truly can be; but praise God, I'm not the man I once was”
