It is always better to have no ideas than false ones; to believe nothing, than to believe what is wrong.

The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.

Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.

I sincerely believe... that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
