I find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.

It vexes me greatly that having to earn my living has forced me to interrupt the work and to attend to small matters.

This fulfils my ambition. I still have my father's robe as Chancellor. I shall be proud to serve you in this splendid office.

See for the highest, aim at that highest, and you shall reach the highest.

I can never be safe; I always try and go against the grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That's how I've gotten to where I am.

I never did a day's work in my life. it was all fun.
