“No man can produce great things who is not thoroughly sincere in dealing with himself.”

“A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.”

“You praise man who has the ability to perform great actions.I admire man who can deal with great pain and knows no despair.”

“An Individualist is a man who lives for his own sake and by his own mind; he neither sacrifices himself to others nor sacrifices others to himself; he deals with men as a trader - not as a looter; as a producer - not as a Attila.”

“If one listens one may be convinced; and a man who allows himself to be convinced by an argument is a thoroughly unreasonable person”

“But the man who is not afraid to admit everything that he sees to be wrong with himself, and yet recognizes that he may be the object of God's love precisely because of his shortcomings, can begin to be sincere. His sincerity is based on confidence, not in his own illusions about himself, but in the endless, unfailing mercy of God.”
