Page 30 - Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Page 88 - Judge not, and ye shall not be judged : condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned : forgive, and ye shall be forgiven : give, and it shall be given unto you : good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Page 56 - may almost be called the foundation of business. It is true that if all business men would altogether discard it matters would probably be far better even for them than they are, but taking the human character as it is, it is frankly avowed by business men themselves that no business could succeed for a single year if it were to attempt singlehanded and alone to adopt such an innovation. The particular form of deception characteristic 'of business is called shrewdness, and is universally considered...
Page 53 - If to the moralist [the love of money] is "the root of all evil," to the sociologist, studying the causes of social development, it is the root of all the good there is in...
Page 146 - Then there is, of course, Anatole France. I have mentioned chiefly French writers, for I understand French literature best. I am not very familiar with Anglo-American literature. You see, it is impossible to do two things well at the same time, and I must choose between one and the other — between my work and the reading of foreign literature. I consider Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky the greatest masters of fiction. Dostoyevsky was almost unconscious in his art. He did not describe things but he somehow...
