It's not the work which kills people, it's the worry. It's not the revolution that destroys machinery it's the friction.

If there is dissatisfaction with the status quo, good. If there is ferment, so much the better. If there is restlessness, I am pleased. Then let there be ideas, and hard thought, and hard work. If man feels small, let man make himself bigger.

Gentleness doesn't get work done unless you happen to be a hen laying eggs.

I never expect to see a perfect work from an imperfect man.

I have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence.
