I am not one of those who think that an unworthy piece of work can be transformed into a worthy one by a title.

I am not a great believer in the philosophy that says that a nation is not able to face its problems because it has not had a period of time of great change. In the course of our history we have had many great changes and we have learned how to adapt to them.

Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.

I’m not in this for money. I’m in it for the art.

I have always considered that my chief merit lay in having had the good fortune to have had good teachers and to have had the opportunity to observe the working of the best engines.

Nothing in life can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

Freemasonry is an ancient science of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols.

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow is our doubts of today.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
