"The man who does things makes mistakes,..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Private property...is the creature of society and is subject to the calls of that society even to the last farthing.”

“If better is possible, good is not enough”

“Industry pays debts, while despair increases them.”

“Raising the standard of the work, not complaining about somebody not voting.”

“Precisely because we cannot predict the moment, we must be ready at all moments.”

“First, imagine taking the potentially regret - producing path of inaction. Then imagine what the very best outcome would be were you to take this risk. By picturing both scenarios in advance, you can avoid the regret of what might have been.”

“What is the world that is to be given up? It is here. I am carrying it all with me. My own body. It is all for this body that I put my hand voluntarily upon my fellow human beings, just to keep it nice and give it a little pleasure. It is all for the body that I injure others and make mistakes.”

“Everybody makes bad decisions. I am sure I have made my share of them over 40 years of service. Or I have made good decisions and have been overruled. The real challenge, when you are overruled, is to remember who the boss is and don't take it personally.”

“In my younger days, I was arrogant - jail helped me to get rid of it. I did nothing but make enemies because of my arrogance.”
