Abraham Cahan

Be modest, humble, simple. Control your anger.

Remember that it is not enough to abstain from lying by word of mouth; for the worst lies are often conveyed by a false look, smile, or act.

The dearest days in one's life are those that seem very far and very near at once.

Life is much shorter than I imagined it to be.

Above all, you must fight conceit, envy, and every kind of ill-feeling in your heart.

Only the other world has substance and reality only good deeds and holy learning have tangible worth.

I was a great dreamer of day dreams.
