"Friendship, like credit, is highest when it is not used."

"A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success."

"Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway."

"There is no failure except in no longer trying."

"A failure is a man who has blundered but is not capable of cashing in on the experience."

"The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment."

"Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit."

"To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing."

"One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man."

"The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one."

"A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same."

"It may happen sometimes that a long debate becomes the cause of a longer friendship. Commonly, those who dispute with one another at last agree."
