6. Our senses, by an effect almost mechanical, are passive to the impression of outward objects, whether agreeable or offensive, but the mind, possessed of a self-directing power, may turn its attention to whatever it thinks proper.

7. Being stupid and having no imagination, animals often behave far more sensibly than men. Efficiently and by instinct they do the right, appropriate thing at the right moment --- eat when they are hungry, look for water when they feel thirsty, rest or play when they have leisure.

In short, we all go throughlifewearing glasses colored by our own tastes, our own calling, and our own prejudices, measuring our neighbors by our own standards, summing them up according to our own private arithmetic.

32. It goes without saying that when we read the lives of great men we cannot but be struck by the manner in which all kinds of experiences that might in themselves seem to be random, or even disastrous are made use ofin the long run.

33. The great inventions of Thomas A. Edison were the fruit of long and painstaking effort. " Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration," was the way he explained his success.
