The most important thing is transforming our minds, for a new way of thinking, a new outlook: we should strive to develop a new inner world.

The trouble with most people is that they quit before they start.

Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

Most people don't have that willingness to break bad habits. They have a lot of excuses and they talk like victims.

The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they alone knew everything and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for girls, they are forward, immodest and unwomanly in speech, behaviour and dress.

There is no limit to which a man will not go to avoid thinking.
