"To me - old age is always ten years older than I am."

"If we take science as our sole guide, if we accept and hold fast that alone which is verifiable, the old theology must go."

"To me - old age is always ten years older than I am."

"A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else."

"A man can get discouraged many times but he is not a failure until he begins to blame somebody else and stops trying."

"The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are."
