“the greatest men that ever live pass away unknown. they put forth no claims for themselves, establish no schools of systems in their name. they never create or stir but just melt down into love”

“Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system.”

“Love never claims, it ever gives. Love ever suffers, never resents never revenges itself.”

“They sent forth men to battle, But no such men return; And home, to claim their welcome, Come ashes in an urn”

“Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency.”

“He was a simple honest man. He never strayed,He never drank, he never smoked, and he never kissed a maid.And when he passed away his insurance was denied,Because he never lived, they claimed he never died.”
