- All Fords are exactly alike, but no two men are just alike. Every new life is a new thing under the sun; there has never been anything just like it before, never will be again. A young man ought to get that idea about himself; he should look for the single spark of individuality that makes him different from other folks, and develop that for all he is worth. Society and schools may try to iron it out of him; their tendency is to put it all in the same mold, but I say don't let that spark be lost; it is your only real claim to importance.

I knew that World War II was coming and I was afraid that if I had shares which rise in case of war, I would wish for war. So I asked my agent to buy shares which go down in the event of war. This he did. I lost my money and saved my soul.

- Fame lost its appeal for me when I went into a public restroom and an autograph seeker handed me a pen and paper under the stall door.

- Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.
- Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC), The Confucian Analects
- Men of ill judgment oft ignore the good
That lies within their hands, till they have lost it. - Sophocles (496 BC - 406 BC), Ajax
