“Notions of chance and fate are the preoccupation of men engaged in rash undertakings.”

“Your chances of success in any undertaking can always be measured by your belief in yourself.”

“There is nothing namable but that some men will, or undertake to, do it for pay.”

“One of the primary reasons that men undertake the teaching of false doctrine is greed.”

“So long as we think of it objectively, time is Fate or Chance, the factor in our lives for which we are not responsible, and about which we can do nothing; but when we begin to think of it subjectively, we feel responsible for our time, and the notion of punctuality arises.”

“It is the poet and philosopher who provide the community of objectives in which the artist participates. Their chief preoccupation, like the artist, is the expression in concrete form of their notions of reality. Like him, they deal with the verities of time and space, life and death, and the heights of exaltation as well as the depths of despair. The preoccupation with these eternal problems creates a common ground which transcends the disparity in the means used to achieve them.”
