“The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.”
“It is not what we have that will make us a great nation; it is how we use what we have.”
“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”
“We are all of us made of stars.”
“Life is always a tightrope or a feather bed. Give me the tightrope.”
