“All that can be done for you is nothing to what you can do for yourself.”

“Even books are nurses, medicines are nurses. But we must work to bring about the time when man shall recognise his mastery over his own body. Herbs and medicines have power over us as long as we allow them; when we become strong, these external methods are no more necessary.”

“Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian.”

“Build for your team a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another and of strength to be derived by unity.”
