Any man who takes a job with the idea that it is simply a springboard for something else is a chump. His attention will be more on the other things than on the job at hand and so he will fail.

You have an idea of the way you think it is, and it's not that way at all, it's something else.

I don't want to be normal. I want to be something else.

I don't live for poetry. I live far more than anybody else does.

If a man is going to be an American at all let him be so without any qualifying adjectives, and if he is going to be something else, let him drop the word American from his personal description.

Nothing is work unless you'd rather be doing something else.
