“Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy you must have somebody to divide it with.”

“To get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with.”

“Friendships multiply joys and divide griefs.”

“Thought must be divided against itself before it can come to any knowledge of itself.”

“Grief produces an abundant energy that must find a way to burn itself up. And that is the fundamental problem, one that can take a lifetime to exhaust.”

“You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”
