"In this world, a man must either be anvil or hammer" — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age

A man's true state of power and riches is to be in himself

Character is power

It is the nature of the wise to resist pleasures, but the foolish to be a slave to them

To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent that is to triumph over old age

I do not regard a broker as a member of the human race
