There is nothing deep down inside us except what we have put there ourselves.

Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it.

Left to themselves things tend to go from bad to worse. Murphy's First Corollary If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire the next morning you will have a flat tire.

Burning desire to be or do something gives us staying power - a reason to get up every morning or to pick ourselves up and start in again after a disappointment.

Because bankers measure their self-worth in money and pay themselves a lot of it they think they're fine fellows and don't need to explain themselves.

And we've got to ask ourselves some very serious questions as to whether or not certain religious leaders in terms of raising money - I hate to bring this up - are pushing hot buttons.

Just put down 9/11... I think on most things I'm liberal except on defending ourselves and keeping half the money. Those things I'm kind of conservative on.

Almost the only persons who may be said to comprehend even approximately the significance principles and purposes of Socialism are the chief leaders of the extreme wings of the Socialistic forces and perhaps a few of the money kings themselves.

We all seek approval and our mother's seal is usually the most important. The nitty gritty is that we have to accept ourselves even if it is just to be ready for the next cut-down. Mom's blessing or not.

How simple a thing it seems to me that to know ourselves as we are we must know our mothers names.

Some old men continually praise the time of their youth. In fact you would almost think that there were no fools in their days but unluckily they themselves are left as an example.

Men should pledge themselves to nothing for reflection makes a liar of their resolution.

I once heard two ladies going on and on about the pains of childbirth and how men don't seem to know what real pain is. I asked if either of them ever got themselves caught in a zipper.

Old men are fond of giving good advice to console themselves for their inability to give bad examples.

I do not wish women to have power over men but over themselves.

Such is the nature of men that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty or more eloquent or more learned yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves.

The story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short.

If there existed no external means for dimming their consciences one-half of the men would at once shoot themselves because to live contrary to one's reason is a most intolerable state and all men of our time are in such a state.
