“Men are only as great as they are kind.”

“If men could only know each other, they would neither idolize nor hate.”

“The great man is not so great as folks think, and the dull man is not quite so stupid as he seems. The difference in our estimates of men lies in the fact that one individual is able to get his goods into the show-window, and the other is not aware that he has any show-window or any goods.”

“Little minds are interested in the extraordinary; great minds in the commonplace.”

“A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness.”

“The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment.”

“We will not be dictated to by men with less intelligence, energy, initiative and ambition than we ourselves possess. ”
