Men admire the man who can organize their wishes and thoughts in stone and wood and steel and brass.

Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force - that thoughts rule the world.

If man has good corn, or wood, or boards, or pigs to sell, or can make better chairs or knives, crucibles, or church organs, than anybody else, you will find a broad, hard-beaten road to his house, though it be in the woods

Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day.

Every book is a quotation; and every house is a quotation out of all forests, and mines, and stone quarries; and every man is a quotation from all his ancestors.

If a man carefully examines his thoughts he will be surprised to find how much he lives in the future. His well-being is always ahead. Such a creature is probably immortal.
