DAVID STARR JORDAN

When a dog barks at the moon, then it is religion; but when he barks at strangers, it is patriotism!

Our country is now at war and the only way out is forward. I would not change one word I have spoken against war but that is no longer the issue. We must now stand together.

To say no at the right time, and then stand by it, is the first element of success. He is the wise man who, for all his life, can keep mind and soul and body clean.

There is no real excellence in all of this world which can be separated from right living.

Rome endured as long as there were Romans. America will endure as long as we remain American in spirit and in thought.

The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows whither he is going.

There is not a conceivable enemy unless we create it, not a nation that would fight us if it could.

Whatever you attempt, go at it with spirit.

Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it.

The problem of life is not to make life easier, but to make men stronger.

When a dog barks at the moon, then it is religion; but when he barks at strangers, it is patriotism!

No one is really miserable who has not tried to cheapen life.

There is no real excellence in all of this world which can be separated from right living.

The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows whither he is going.

Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it.

Be a life long or short, its completeness depends on what it was lived for.

There is not a conceivable enemy unless we create it, not a nation that would fight us if it could.

Rome endured as long as there were Romans. America will endure as long as we remain American in spirit and in thought.

The physiological law of Transfer of Energy is the basis of human success and happiness. There is no action without expenditure of energy, and if energy be not expended the power to generate it is lost. This law shows itself in a thousand ways in the life of man. The arm which is not used becomes palsied. The wealth which comes by chance weakens and destroys. The good which is unused turns to evil. The charity which asks no effort cannot relieve the misery she creates.

Whatever is not nailed down is mine." This is the motto of the exploiter. "Whatever can be pried loose is not nailed down." This is the second maxim in a country where people are rich, caring little in their present prosperity what shall become of the future.

Whatever you attempt, go at it with spirit.

Our country is now at war and the only way out is forward. I would not change one word I have spoken against war but that is no longer the issue. We must now stand together.

The problem of life is not to make life easier, but to make men stronger.

No one can afford to look downward for his enjoyments.

To say no at the right time, and then stand by it, is the first element of success. He is the wise man who, for all his life, can keep mind and soul and body clean.

There is no pleasure in life equal to that of the conquest of a vicious habit.
