“There are three things that grow more precious with age; old wood to burn, old books to read, and old friends to enjoy.”

“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.”

“Age appears best in four things: old wood to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust and old authors to read.”

“Chop your own wood and it will warm you twice”

“My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.”

“As long as we look to legislation to cure poverty or to abolish special privilege we are going to see poverty and special privilege grow.”

“None of our men are 'experts.' We have most unfortunately found it necessary to get rid of a man as soon as he thinks himself an expert because no one ever considers himself expert if he really knows his job. A man who knows a job sees so much more to be done than he has done, that he is always pressing forward and never gives up an instant of thought to how good and how efficient he is. Thinking always ahead, thinking always of trying to do more, brings a state of mind in which nothing is impossible. The moment one gets into the 'expert' state of mind a great number of things become impossible.”
