The Door That Nobody Else Will Go

Economy, Prudence, And A Simple Life Are The Sure Masters Of Need, And Will Often Accomplish That Which, Their Opposites, With A Fortune At Hand, Will Fail To Do.

It Irritates Me To Be Told How Things Have Always Been Done. I Defy The Tyranny Of Precedent. I Cannot Afford The Luxury Of A Closed Mind.

Let Me Go, Let Me Go.

I Wonder If A Soldier Ever Does Mend A Bullet Hole In His Coat?

I Have Never Worked For Fame Or Praise, And Shall Not Feel Their Loss As I Otherwise Would. I Have Never For A Moment Lost Sight Of The Humble Life I Was Born To, Its Small Environments, And The Consequently Little Right I Had To Expect Much Of Myself, And Shall Have The Less To Censure, Or Upbraid Myself With For The Failures I Must See Myself Make.
