“A man builds a fine house; and now he has a master, and a task for life.”

“If a man can write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mousetrap than his neighbor, though he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door.”

“Every spirit builds itself a house; and beyond its house, a world; and beyond its world a heaven. Know then, that the world exists for you: build, therefore, your own world.”

“He has seen but half the universe who never has been shown the house of Pain.”

“The Artist always has the masters in his eyes.”

“That which we persist on doing becomes easier, not that the nature of the task has changed , but our ability to do has increased.”

“The man is the head of the house but the woman is the neck that turns the head.”
