«The price which society pays for the law of competition, like the price it pays for cheap comforts and luxuries, is great; but the advantages of this law are also greater still than its cost / for it is to this law that we owe our wonderful material development, which brings improved conditions in its train. But, whether the law be benign or not, we must say of it: It is here; we cannot evade it; no substitutes for it have been found; and while the law may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department.»
«You cannot push anyone up the ladder unless he is willing to climb.»
«You must capture and keep the heart of the original and supremely able man before his brain can do its best.»
«All honor's wounds are self-inflicted.»
«I shall argue that strong men, conversely, know when to compromise and that all principles can be compromised to serve a greater principle.»
«The man who dies rich dies disgraced»
«And while the law (of competition) may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department»
«Those who would administer wisely must, indeed, be wise, for one of the serious obstacles to the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity»
«The man who acquires the ability to take full possession of his own mind may take possession of anything else to which he is justly entitled.»
