“Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides.”

“It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.”

“Verily learned to live with constant deception, hiding what he was and what he saw and what he felt and what he did from everyone around him. It was only natural that he should be drawn to the study of law.”

“Man is a real man, and can live and act manfully in this world, not in the strength of opinions, not according to what he thinks, but according to what he is.”

“A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.”

“You know, many a man realizes late in life that if when he was a boy he had known what he knows now, instead of being what he is he might be what he won't; but how few boys stop to think that if they knew what they don't know instead of being what they will be, they wouldn't be?”

“Life becomes the way it is lived; and man may live the way he wants to live when he learns to think what he wants to think.”

“Behavior is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes.”

“Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be, and he will become what he should be.”

“Perhaps it is not true that “a man becomes what he dreams”; but if he does not dream, what kind of a man is he?”
