One life; a little gleam of Time between two Eternities; no second chance to us for evermore!

A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.

Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of man you are.

Speech is silver, silence is golden.

Not what you possess but what you do with what you have, determines your true worth.

Do the duty which lies nearest to you, the second duty will then become clearer.

Conviction is worthless unless it is converted into conduct.

A person with a clear purpose will make progress, even on the roughest road. A person with no purpose will make no progress, even on the smoothest road.

Weak eyes are fondest of glittering objects.

He who has no vision of eternity has no hold on time.

Be faithful that your authentic power is all you need to truly share your light with the world.
