I Laugh Because I Must Not Cry,

My Great Concern Is Not Whether You Have Failed, But Whether You Are Content With Your Failure.

All That I Am, Or Hope To Be, I Owe To My Angel Mother.

I Am Approached With The Most Opposite Opinions And Advice, And That By Religious Men, Who Are Equally Certain That They Represent The Divine Will. I Am Sure That Either The One Or The Other Class Is Mistaken In That Belief, And Perhaps In Some Respects Both.

I Freely Acknowledge Myself The Servant Of The People, According To The Bond Of Service - The United States Constitution; And That, As Such, I Am Responsible To Them.

The Only Security A Man Can Ever Have Is The Ability To Do A Job Uncommonly Well.
