I tell you that as long as I can conceive something better than myself I cannot be easy unless I am striving to bring it in to existence or clearing the way for it

The world is populated in the main by people who should not exist

A man's interest in the world is only the overflow of his interest in himself

I tell you that as long as I can conceive something better than myself I cannot be easy unless I am striving to bring it in to existence or clearing the way for it.

No man who is occupied in doing a very difficult thing, and doing it very well, ever loses his self-respect

Do not love your neighbour as yourself. If you are on good terms with yourself it is an impertinence; if on bad, an injury.
