"Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death."
"The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it."
"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
"Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing."
"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure...than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
"Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground."
"No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expediency."
"Speak softly and carry a big stick."
