“A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.”

“You can fail many times, but you're not a failure until you begin to blame somebody else.”

“You can get discouraged many times, but you are not a failure until you begin to blame somebody else and stop trying.”

“The universe is so unhuman, that is, it goes its way with so little thought of man. He is but an incident, not an end. We must adjust our notions to the discovery that things are not shaped to him, but that he is shaped to them. The air was not made for his lungs, but he has lungs because there is air; the light was not created for his eye, but he has eyes because there is light. All the forces of nature are going their own way; man avails himself of them, or catches a ride as best he can. If he keeps his seat, he prospers; if he misses his hold and falls, he is crushed.”

“Man takes root at his feet, and at best he is no more than a potted plant in his house or carriage till he has established communication with the soil by the loving and magnetic touch of his soles to it.”

“A somebody was once a nobody who wanted to and did.”

“Bookman isn't a stable man. He has a lot of problems that run very, very deep." But he was really good at giving head.”
