My Home Is Where I Work, And

I Regard Large Inherited Wealth As A Misfortune, Which Merely Serves To Dull Men's Faculties. A Man Who Possesses Great Wealth Should, Therefore, Allow Only A Small Portion To Descend To His Relatives. Even If He Has Children, I Consider It A Mistake To Hand Over To Them Considerable Sums Of Money Beyond What Is Necessary For Their Education. To Do So Merely Encourages Laziness And Impedes The Healthy Development Of The Individual's Capacity To Make An Independent Position For Himself.

I Am Not Aware That I Have Deserved Any Notoriey, And I Have No Taste For Its Buzz.

A Recluse Without Books And Ink Is Already In Life A Dead Man.

For My Part, I Wish All Guns With Their Belongings And Everything Could Be Sent To Hell, Which Is The Proper Place For Their Exhibition And Use.

Hope Is Nature's Veil For Hiding Truth's Nakedness.
