“Success in this world depends on knowing exactly how little effort each job is worth...distribution of energy...”

“Success is dependent on effort.”

“How much energy they put into harming each other. How little into saving.”

“The success or failure of any relationship depends not just on how we feel about each other, but on how we make each other feel about ourselves.”

“Anyone who is willing to work and is serious about it will certainly find a job. Only you must not go to the man who tells you this, for he has no job to offer and doesn't know anyone who knows of a vacancy. This is exactly the reason why he gives you such generous advice, out of brotherly love, and to demonstrate how little he knows the world.”

“I believe it is the duty of each of us to act as if the fate of the world depended on him. Admittedly, one man by himself cannot do the job. However, one man can make a difference. We must live for the future of the human race, and not for our own comfort or success.”
