There are two ways to conquer and enslave a country. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not everyone's greed.

Life's blows cannot break a person whose spirit is warmed at the fire of enthusiasm!

One who is serious all day will never have a good time, while one who is frivolous all day will never establish a household.

The aim of art, the aim of a life can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility to be found in every man and in the world. It cannot, under any circumstances, be to reduce or suppress that freedom, even temporarily.

Most men die at 27, we just bury them at 72.

Laugh as much as you breathe. Love as long as you live.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

The world is a comedy to those that think, and a tragedy to those that feel.

The only way to live, is knowing you’re going to die. If you're afraid to die, you'll never be able to live.

At the end of the day, we can endure more than we think we can.

Let me give you a tip on a clue to men’s characters: the man who damns money has obtained it dishonorably; the man who respects it has earned it.

Money grows on the tree of persistence.

Too many people spend money they haven’t earned to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.

Anyone can make money. Making a life worth living, now that's the real test.

Money is a terrible master but an excellent servant.

Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.

The surest way to relieve a man of his poverty is to make him uncomfortable in it.

To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy.

If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad.

In short, the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality; that is. waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what they are going to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute.

I am not aware that any community has a right to force another to be civilized.

Men who reject the responsibility of thought and reason can only exist as parasites on the thinking of others.

A society that tolerates intimidation as a means of settling disputes…loses its moral rights to exist as a social system, and its collapse does not take long to follow.

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

In this age, the man who dares to think for himself and to act independently does a service to his race.

Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.

Charity degrades those who receive it and hardens those who dispense it. All that is not a true change will disappear in the future society.

And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth.
