"Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things"

"Better one's House be too little one day than too big all the Year after"

"Cats and monkeys; monkeys and cats; all human life is there"

"Business is the salt of life"

"It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice"

"The leader must aim high, see big, judge widely, thus setting himself apart form the ordinary people who debate in narrow confines"

"There is more to life than increasing its speed"

"Life yields only to the conqueror. Never accept what can be gained by giving in. You will be living off stolen goods, and your muscles will atrophy"

"As soon as there is life there is danger"

"There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures"

"The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life"
