“A great man is one who seizes the vital issue in a complex question what we might call the jugular vein of the whole organism and spends his energies upon that.”

“All our focus and strength must be concentrated on striving to fulfill the will of God for our lives”

“Nothing, save the hangman's noose, concentrates the mind like piles of cash.”

“Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.”
