“The only way to gall and fret effectively is for yourself to be a good and honest man.”

“Always prefer the plain direct word to the long, vague one. Don't implement promises, but keep them.”

“A correct answer is like an affectionate kiss.”

“How desperately difficult it is to be honest with oneself. It is much easier to be honest with other people.What is true is invisible to the eye. It is only with the heart that one can see clearly.”
