Laughter is not a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is... - Henry Ward Beecher

"‎Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself-and be lenient to everybody else."

"Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith."

"Hold yourself to a higher standard than anyone else expects of you. Never excuse yourself."

"The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be without a telescope."

"Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?"
