Good breeding consists

As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Good breeding consists of concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.
A rumor without a leg to stand on will get around some other way.
See things as they are and write about them. Don?t waste your creative energy trying to make things up. Even if you are writing fiction, write the things you see and know.
Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps.
Every man, wherever he goes, is encompassed by a cloud of comforting convictions, which move with him like flies on a summer day.
Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.
