Fools

Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do.

Success and Action

Success seems to be connected with action. Successful men keep moving forward. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.

Few Wants

My riches consist not in the extent of my possessions, but in the fewness of my wants.

Habits
