“(S)ome people you will always have about you whom you can trust, and no man these days can boast of more than that. Remember them; forget the others.”
“You have not forgotten to remember;You have remembered to forget.But people can forget to forget. That is just as important as remembering to remember - and generally more practical.”
“You can boast about anything if it's all you have. Maybe the less you have, the more you are required to boast.”
“And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too —even when you’re in the dark. Even when you’re falling.”
“There are two motives for reading a book; one, that you enjoy it; the other, that you can boast about it.”
“Remember, young man, experience is not the best teacher. Other people's experience is the best teacher. By reading about the lives of great people, you can unlock the secrets to what made them great.”
