Frank Crane

“What is a friend? I will tell you... it is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.”

“You do not succeed because you do not know what you want, but because you don't want it intensely enough.”

“Next, in importance to books are their titles.”

“Most of the things we decide are not what we know to be the best. We say yes, merely because we are driven into a corner and must say something.”

“Habits are safer than rules; you don't have to watch them. And you don't have to keep them either. They keep you.”

“A good motto is: use friendliness but do not use your friends.”

“You are wise, witty and wonderful, but you spend too much time reading this sort of stuff.”

“A friend is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.”

“Your sole contribution to the sum of things is yourself.”

“Responsibility is the thing people dread most of all. Yet it is the one thing in the world that develops us, gives us manhood or womanhood fiber.”

“You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don't trust enough.”
