“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it.

“If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide.”

“There are many causes I would die for. There is not a single cause I would kill for.”

“My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay them both at his feet.”

“All your scholarship would be in vain if at the same time you do not build your character and attain mastery over your thoughts and your actions.”
