When people are bewildered they tend to become credulous.

Honor

No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.

Listening

No one every listened themselves out of a job.

Perseverance

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Profits

Civilization and profits go hand in hand.

Right and Rightness

Men speak of natural rights, but I challenge any one to show where in nature any rights existed or were recognized until there was established for their declaration and protection a duly promulgated body of corresponding laws.

Strength

Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.

Wisdom

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of face within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.
