Every man is his own ancestor, and every man is his own heir. He devises his own future, and he inherits his own past.

Every man is a quotation from all his ancestors.

Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in waking, would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare.

In the past the man has been first; in the future the system must be first... The first object of any good system must be that of developing first class men.

Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.

Every man has a right to risk his own life for the preservation of it.
