"Absence and death are the same - only that in death there is no suffering."	Life & Death
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."	Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous
"If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month."	Miscellaneous
"A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education he may steal the whole railroad."	Miscellaneous
