“A man must walk only his own path...Never another's or his feet will grow tired and sore. And he will feel lost even when he arrives.”

“Each of us can walk only the path he sees at his own feet. Each of us is subject to the consequences of his own belief.”

“Each man follows his own path - his own destiny, if you will. And only he is responsible for the choice.”

“A man never describes his own character so clearly as when he describes another.”

“Funny thing how it is. If a man owns a little property, that property is him, it's part of him, and it's like him. If he owns property only so he can walk on it and handle it and be sad when it isn't doing well, and feel fine when the rain falls on it, that property is him, and some way he's bigger because he owns it. Even if he isn't successful he's big with his property. That is so.''But let a man get property he doesn't see, or can't take time to get his fingers in, or can't be there to walk on it - why, then the property is the man. He can't do what he wants, he can't think what he wants. The property is the man, stronger than he is. And he is small, not big. Only his possessions are big - and he's the servant of his property. That is so, too.”

“A man must be orthodox upon most things, or he will never even have time to preach his own heresy.”
