Inscription.
"I was very immature in too many ways when in my early 20s… I didn't settle down to domesticity until I was 30, I doubt that I could have.... Now I know what will make me happy, but without having worked, doing my jobs, traveling a great deal, being rich, poor again, I would have been discontent, I think. My life now is happier and more complete than I had ever hoped, and I always had great expectations."

"Royal Road to Success Or Heartbreak," Sunday Times Advertiser (Trenton), 9/3/1967, p. 6
