Each person has inside a basic decency and goodness. If he listens to it and acts on it, he is giving a great deal of what it is the world needs most. It is not complicated but it takes courage. It takes courage for a person to listen to his own goodness and act on it.

Who is rich? He that rejoices in his portion.

165
Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is good… Everyone has his own idea of good and evil and must choose to follow the good and fight evil as he conceives them. That would be enough to make the world a better place.
166
167
168

Motivation is everything. You can do the work of two people, but you can’t be two people. Instead, you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people.
200
The greatest error of a man is to think that he is weak by nature, evil by nature. Every man is divine and strong in his real nature. What are weak and evil are his habits, his desires and thoughts, but not himself.

209
210
211
The great liability of the engineer compared to men of other professions is that his works are out in the open where all can see them. His acts, step by step, are in hard substance. He cannot bury his mistakes in the grave like the doctors. He cannot argue them into thin air or blame the judge like the lawyers.
212
A wise ruler, when he makes his laws, is bound to find himself in conflict with the world.
213
214

He that always gives way to others will end in having no principles of his own.
218
219
I believe in God – not in a Catholic God; there is no Catholic God. There is God, and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being.
220
221
A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.
222
223
We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information.

No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck.
238
There can be no failure to a man who has not lost his courage, his character, his self respect, or his self-confidence. He is still a King.
239
240
We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.
241
242
A philosophy of freedom must set out from the experience of thinking, for it is through this experience of thinking that a human being discovers his own self, finds his bearings as an independent personality.

244
245
246

247
God has equipped you to handle difficult things. In fact, He has already planted the seeds of discipline and self-control inside you. You just have to water those seeds with His Word to make them grow!
248
249
250
I think that is a better thing than thanksgiving: thanks-living. How is this to be done? By a general cheerfulness of manner, by an obedience to the command of Him by whose mercy we live, by a perpetual, constant delighting of ourselves in the Lord, and by a submission of our desires to His will.
251
I like the story about Henry David Thoreau, who, when he was on his death bed, his family sent for a minister. The minister said, ‘Henry, have you made your peace with God?’ Thoreau said, ‘I didn’t know we’d quarreled.’
252
253
The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has.
254
255
A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him.
256
Before the tribunal of nature, a man has no more right to life than a rattlesnake; he has no more right to liberty than any wild beast; his right to the pursuit of happiness is nothing but a license to maintain the struggle for existence, if he can find within himself the powers with which to do it.
257
258
Of course God will forgive me; that’s His job.
259
260
Business underlies everything in our national life, including our spiritual life. Witness the fact that in the Lord’s Prayer, the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.
261
262
Man is not a machine that can be remodelled for quite other purposes as occasion demands, in the hope that it will go on functioning as regularly as before but in a quite different way. He carries his whole history with him; in his very structure is written the history of mankind.
263
264
265
The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life – knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.
266
267

271
When a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.

273
Man is a child of his environment.
274
Anyone who thinks that the vice-president can take a position independent of the president of his administration simply has no knowledge of politics or government. You are his choice in a political marriage, and he expects your absolute loyalty.
275
276
I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house.
277

282
283
284

292
293
294
295

298
299

300
301
The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.
302
The right of nature… is the liberty each man hath to use his own power, as he will himself, for the preservation of his own nature; that is to say, of his own life.
303
The deepest problems of modern life derive from the claim of the individual to preserve the autonomy and individuality of his existence in the face of overwhelming social forces, of historical heritage, of external culture, and of the technique of life.
304
305
Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.
306
I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man’s self-respect is a sin.
307
Whatever your life’s work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.

The artist, like the God of the creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.
311
For God so loved the World that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
312
313
Character is just another word for having a perfectly disciplined and educated will. A person can make his own character by blending these elements with an intense desire to achieve excellence. Everyone is different in what I will call magnitude, but the capacity to achieve character is still the same.
314
A wise man proportions his belief to the evidence.
315

319
320
321
A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.
322
323
To my young friends out there: Life can be great, but not when you can’t see it. So, open your eyes to life: to see it in the vivid colors that God gave us as a precious gift to His children, to enjoy life to the fullest, and to make it count. Say yes to your life.
324
Education must provide the opportunities for self-fulfillment; it can at best provide a rich and challenging environment for the individual to explore, in his own way.
325
326
327
Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.
328
It was my father who taught me to value myself. He told me that I was uncommonly beautiful and that I was the most precious thing in his life.

330
331
In a rich man’s house there is no place to spit but his face.
332
Poetry should… should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.
333
God buries His workmen but carries on His work.
334
The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant.
335
A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.
336
Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.
337
Isn’t it amazing that we are all made in God’s image, and yet there is so much diversity among his people?
338
339
340
Within yourself deliverance must be searched for, because each man makes his own prison.
341
Judge not a man by his clothes, but by his wife’s clothes.
342
The best news of the Christian gospel is that the supremely glorious Creator of the universe has acted in Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection to remove every obstacle between us and himself so that we may find everlasting joy in seeing and savoring his infinite beauty.
343
After 50 years of smoking unfiltered cigarettes, my father died, too young, of a massive heart attack. He was 69. It’s almost certain that all those years of nicotine inhalation were a major contributor to his clogged arteries.
344
345
346
347
Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.
348
If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a ‘peace conference‘, you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and airplanes.
349
350
Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one’s better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk, and to act.
351
An attempt is already underway to revise history – to leave the impression that the former president had nothing to do with Watergate. But there is no doubt about his obstruction of justice after the Watergate break-in.
352
353
354
The best portion of a good man’s life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.
355
A man learns all his life and dies the day he thinks that he has learnt everything.
356
The man who never makes a mistake always takes orders from one who does. No man or woman who tries to pursue an ideal in his or her own way is without enemies.
357
Alone let him constantly meditate in solitude on that which is salutary for his soul, for he who meditates in solitude attains supreme bliss.
358
Never judge a stranger by his clothes.
359

A man’s conscience and his judgment is the same thing; and as the judgment, so also the conscience, may be erroneous.
372
I’ve always maintained – a captain is only as good as his team. It is not about my leadership, it is not about me.
373
A man’s face as a rule says more, and more interesting things, than his mouth, for it is a compendium of everything his mouth will ever say, in that it is the monogram of all this man’s thoughts and aspirations.
374
375
He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination.

Where a man’s heart is, there is his treasure also.
393

395
396
397
A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.
398
399
For my own part, I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen the representative of our country. He is a bird of bad moral character. He does not get his living honestly.
400
401
A liberal to me is one who – and it suits some of the dictionary definitions – is unbeholden to any specific belief or party or group or person, but makes up his or her mind on the basis of the facts and the presentation of those facts at the time. That defines what I am.
402
