“Every man contemplates an angel in his future self”
“Every man is tasked to make his life, even in its details, worthy of the contemplation of his most elevated and critical hour.”
“Every man is the craftsman of his future, whether he hone it himself or allow fate do it.”
“A man's truest self realizations might require him, above all, to learn to close his eyes: to let himself be taken unawares, to follow his dark angel, to risk his illegal instincts.”
“Every man finds his limitations, Mr. Holmes, but at least it cures us of the weakness of self-satisfaction.”
“Every time you borrow money, you're robbing your future self.”
