Common sense is instinct, and enough of it is genius.

When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.

---

Genius might well be defined as the ability to makes a platitude sound as though it were an original remark.

---

Let the minor genius go his light way and enjoy his life - the great nature cannot so live, he is never really in holiday mood, even though he often plucks flowers by the wayside and ties them into knots and garlands like little children and lays out on a sunny morning.

You cannot hold on to anything good. You must be continually giving - and getting. You cannot hold on to your seed. You must sow it - and reap anew. You cannot hold on to riches. You must use them and get other riches in return.

Men are rich only as they give. He who gives great service gets great rewards.

---

It is like the seed put in the soil - the more one sows, the greater the harvest.

Plant a kernel of wheat and you reap a pint; plant a pint and you reap a bushel. Always the law works to give you back more than you give.
