Share A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits. Any change is resisted because bureaucrats have a vested interest in the chaos in which they exist. I can take it. The tougher it gets, the cooler I get. Don’t get the impression that you arouse my anger. You [...]

Share An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field. When it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry. The poet, too, is not nearly so concerned with describing facts as with creating images. You are not thinking. You are merely [...]

Share Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often. Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear. A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away. He must have time to modify his shape. Better a broken promise than none at all. Drag your [...]

Share The theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property. Democracy is the road to socialism. It is absolutely impossible to transcend the laws of nature. What can change in historically different circumstances is only the form in which these laws expose themselves.

Share A professional writer is an amateur who didn’t quit. I don’t want to do business with those who don’t make a profit, because they can’t give the best service. Happiness is the reward we get for living to the highest right we know. Get this in mind early: We never grow up. Argue for [...]

Share A people free to choose will always choose peace. Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today’s world do not have. A tree’s [...]

Share Don’t you believe that there is in man a deep so profound as to be hidden even to him in whom it is? Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe. Beauty is indeed a good gift of God; but that the [...]

Share The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?” When inspiration does not come to me, I go halfway to meet it. In the long run, nothing can withstand [...]
