“We will not be dictated to by men with less intelligence, energy, initiative and ambition than we ourselves possess. ”
“There is nobody as irritating as somebody with less intelligence and more sense than we have. ”
“We are not our own any more than what we possess is our own. We did not make ourselves, we cannot be supreme over ourselves. We are not our own masters.”
“Perilous to us all are the devices of an art deeper than we possess ourselves.”
“First ambitions are best. We are less brave later.”
“We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill.”
