It is as impossible for a man to be cheated by any one but himself, as for a thing to be and not to be at the same time

Every revolution was first a thought in one man's mind, and when the same thought occurs to another man, it is the key to that era.

We love flattery, even though we are not deceived by it, because it shows that we are of importance enough to be courted

Make the most of yourself....for that is all there is of you.

No man can help another without helping himself.

The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is, because man is disunited with himself
