Aphorisms
“You cannot force a person to be involved, but you can
drive them away.”
“You cannot get to the top by sitting on your bottom.”
“You cannot know something that you never related to in
any sense, and so if not to yourself, you cannot prove its
in-existence.”
“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating
the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives
without working for, another person must work for
without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody
anything that the government does not first take from
somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that
they do not have to work because the other half is going to
take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea
that it does no good to work because somebody else is
going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is
about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth
by dividing it.”
“You cannot make someone love you; all you can do is
being someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them
that no matter how much I care, some people just don’t
care back.”
“You cannot open the mind of another unless you yourself
have an open mind.”
“You cannot skip the beginning and hope to reach the
end. You will fall as soon as you get there.”
“You cannot succeed until you have failed and you cannot
arrive until you have traveled.”
