"All honor's wounds are self-inflicted. "

"And while the law of competition may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department. "

"He that cannot reason is a fool. He that will not is a bigot. He that dare not is a slave. "

"No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it. "

"One of the serious obstacles to the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity. "

"Surplus wealth is a sacred trust which its possessor is bound to administer in his lifetime for the good of the community. "

"The man who dies rich dies disgraced. "

"Those who would administer wisely must, indeed, be wise, for one of the serious obstacles to the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity. "
