When away from home always be like the kind of man you would care to take into your own home.

Never mind what others do; do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success.

That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.

No man will succeed unless he is ready to face and overcome difficulties and prepared to assume responsibilities.

You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence.

You can succeed if nobody else believes it, but you will never succeed if you don't believe in yourself.

Your success depends mainly upon what you think of yourself and whether you believe in yourself.

Your greatness is measured by your kindness.

Beware of ignorance when in motion; look out for inexperience when in action, and beware of the majority when mentally poisoned with misinformation, for collective ignorance does not become wisdom.

You cannot raise a man up by calling him down.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

Fear is like an illusion of a dangerous wall between you and your goal.

Only courage to fragility makes our hearts melt with fervent love.

Don't try to be perfect. Do the best you can. Enlist help!

On general principles, it is best that I should not leave the country. Scotland Yard feels lonely without me, and it causes an unhealthy excitement among the criminal classes.

What they could do with 'round here is a good war. What else can you expect with peace running wild all over the place? You know what the trouble with peace is? No organization.

I think in Vice and American Me I played very silent, rigid characters and people remember them

My father never permitted anything which I learnt to degenerate into a mere exercise of memory. He strove to make the understanding not only go along with every step of the teaching but...precede it.

Chastity, once lost, cannot be recalled; it goes only once.

I have more care to stay than will to go.
