You freeze where you are, time stops, and your heart thunders in your ears.
You create your opportunities by asking for them.
Rest is the sweet sauce of labor.
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few; and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
Nothing is as simple as we hope it will be.
Nothing is more conducive to peace of mind than not having any opinions at all.
The toughest question has always been, "How do you get your ideas?" How do you answer that? It's like asking runners how they run, or singers how they sing. They just do it!
If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.
Nothing is so good for an ignorant man as silence; and if he was sensible of this he would not be ignorant.
