“A small man always has one weapon he can use against a great big man: he can "talk" about him.”

“He’s not a big man, he’s not a small man, he’s what you might call a handy man.”

“Fortunate, indeed, is the man who takes exactly the right measure of himself, and holds a just balance between what he can acquire and what he can use, be it great or be it small!”

“It is about the greatness of God, not the significance of man. God made man small and the universe big to say something about himself.”

“Praie and shifte eche one for him selfe, as he can.
Euery man for him selfe, and god for us all.”

“I can charge a man's battery, and then recharge it, and recharge it again. But it is only when he has his own generator that we can talk about motivation. He then needs no outside stimulation. He wants to do it.”

“If a man have not order within him
He can not spread order about him”

“With Big Bird we knew we wanted to do a large, a great big character. He should represent a child so he can make the kinds of mistakes that kids make, and talk about it and be out front about that.”

“For there is no one so great or mighty that he can avoid the misery that will rise up against him when he resists and strives against God”

“One who has not found peace within himself will forever be giving speeches about peace. This world is a pulpit upon which man preaches, and there is no end to this talk! For millions of years man has been speaking this way, but he has not come forward to first find peace within himself. There is no use in making speeches. Man must acquire the qualities of God and live in that state. Only then can he speak of peace, only then can he speak the speech of God and dispense the justice of God's kingdom.”
