“Thought expands, but paralyzes; action animates, but narrows.”

“One would give generous alms if one had the eyes to see the beauty of a cupped receiving hand.”

“Wealth does not bring about excellence (aka areté), but excellence (aka areté) brings about wealth and all other public and private blessings for men.”

“In every kind of endeavor, there are ample opportunities for extra effort. Grab those opportunities, embrace that extra effort and transform ordinary mediocrity into bright and shining excellence.”

“Success is in the details.”

“That which we do not call education is more precious than that which we call so.”

“The only moral that is of any value is that which arises inevitably from the whole cast of the author's mind.”

“The art that is in the machine-made article, appeals only to the eye; the art in Khadi appeals first to the heart and then to the eye.”
