“Know thyself, presume not God to scan;The proper study of mankind is man.”

“A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left. ”

“Yes, I am proud; I must be proud to seeMen not afraid of God afraid of me.”

“If you want to know what God thinks about money just look at the people He gives it to.”
