I know that the gentlemen in the enemy camp may think of me however they like. I consider it beneath me to try to change the minds of these gentlemen.

Circumstances-what are circumstances? I make circumstances.

People of accomplishments rarely sit back and let things happen to them. They go out and happen to things.

I never lose. I either win or learn.

The greatest pleasure I've had is trying to do something that everybody says could not be done.

Ambition never is in a greater hurry that I; it merely keeps pace with circumstances and with my general way of thinking.
