 Stated to a running back after an overly exuberant display of celebration: Next time you make a touchdown, act like you've been there before.  The world will never have lasting peace so long as men reserve for war the finest human qualities. A man isn't a man until he has to meet a payroll. All the great blessings of my life are present in my thoughts today. I grow daily to honor facts more and more, and theory less and less. Hope springs eternal in the human breast; Man never is, but always to be blest. As we advance in life, we learn the limits of our abilities. In jealousy there is more of self-love than love.

A good friend can tell you what is the matter with you in a minute. He may not seem such a good friend after telling. I am searching for that which every man seeks-peace and rest. We can be thankful to a friend for a few acres or a little money; and yet for the freedom and command of the whole earth, and for the great benefits of our being, our life, health, and reason, we look upon ourselves as under no obligation. With mere good intentions hell is proverbially paved. True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked. Jealousy would be far less torturous if we understood that love is a passion entirely unrelated to our merits. We cannot solve life's problems except by solving them. Nothing is more limiting than a closed circle of acquaintanceship where every avenue of conversation has been explored and social exchanges are fixed in a known routine. Pride is the direct appreciation of oneself. The young man who wants to marry happily should pick out a good mother and marry one of her daughters - any one will do.
