“Words have to find a man's mind before they can touch his heart, and some men's minds are woefully small targets.”

“Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”

“Where can I find a man who's both religious at heart and scientist in mind?”

“You burn the paper, but not the words. You silence the words, but not the thoughts. You kill the thoughts only if you kill the man. And you will find that his thoughts rise again in the minds of others - twice as strong as before.”

“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts. There are seven words that will make a person love you. There are ten words that will break a strong man’s will. But a word is nothing but a painting of a fire. A name is the fire itself.”

“No man burdens his mind with small matters unless he has some very good reason for doing so.”

“We are afraid of having and showing a small mind and we are not afraid of having and showing a small heart.”

“The only thing about a man that is a man… is his mind. Everything else you can find in a pig or a horse.”

“A man is what he is, not what men say he is. His character no man can touch. His character is what he is before his God and his Judge; and only himself can damage that. His reputation is what men say he is. That can be damaged; but reputation is for time, character is for eternity.”

“Within your heart is where you find your true power, not in your mind - because the heart knows what the mind can only dream about.”
