To me acting is the most logical way for people's neuroses to manifest themselves in this great need we all have to express ourselves.

Police and firefighters are great but they don't create wealth. They protect it. That's crucial. Teaching is a wonderful profession. Teachers help educate people to become good citizens so that citizens can then go create wealth. But they don't create the wealth themselves.

The great person is ahead of their time the smart make something out of it and the blockhead sets themselves against it.

Great minds are to make others great. Their superiority is to be used not to break the multitude to intellectual vassalage not to establish over them a spiritual tyranny but to rouse them from lethargy and to aid them to judge for themselves.

Our actions seem to have their lucky and unlucky stars to which a great part of that blame and that commendation is due which is given to the actions themselves.

Those that have had great passions esteem themselves for the rest of their lives fortunate and unfortunate in being cured of them.

When we get to wishing a great deal for ourselves whatever we get soon turns into mere limitation and exclusion.

The great secret of doctors known only to their wives but still hidden from the public is that most things get better by themselves most things in fact are better in the morning.

In reading the lives of great men I found that the first victory they won was over themselves... self-discipline with all of them came first.

They that apply themselves to trifling matters commonly become incapable of great ones.
