It is discouraging how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.

"Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.  Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plan: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.  All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.  A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamt would have come his way, I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets: ‘Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.  Boldness has genius, power and magic in it..

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

It is well enough that people or the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system for it they did, I believe that there would be a revolution before morning.

Age to me means nothing.  I can't get old; I'm working.  I was old when I was twenty-one and out of work.  As long as you're working you stay young.  Retirement at sixty-five is ridiculous.  When I was sixty-five I still had pimples.

The truth will set you free but first it will piss you off!

We cannot solve a problem with the same kind of thinking we used when we created it.
