“Just hanging around the house is deadly--get out and experience the world together; do things you've never done before!”

“You've got to get consequential things done before you figure out just how inconsequential you truly are.”

“If you always do what you've done before, you will always get what you had, not more...”

“In the last Century more amazing things were found out than in any Century before. In this Century hundreds of things still more astounding will be brought to light. At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done, then they begin to hope it can't be done, then they see it can be done - then it is done and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago. One of the new things people began to find out in the last Century was that thoughts - just mere thoughts - are as powerful as electric batteries - as good for one as sunlight is, or as bad for one as poison. To let a sad thought or a bad one get into your mind is as dangerous as letting a scarlet fever germ get into your body. If you let it stay there after it gets in you may never get over it as long as you live.”

“They were bound together by the things they’d done. Things the nobility could never comprehend being desperate enough to do”

“Never explain, never retract, never apologize. Just get the thing done and let them howl.”
