“I know who I am and who I may be, if I choose.”

When God sends the dawn, he sends it for all.

Time ripens all things; no man is born wise.

Give the devil his due.

The man who is prepared has his battle half fought.

The man who fights for his ideals is alive.

Let every man mind his own business.

Many go out for wool, and come home shorn themselves.

Let us make hay while the sun shines.

There is no greater folly in the world than for a man to despair.

Love is a power too strong to be overcome by anything but flight.

Can we ever have too much of a good thing?

They who lose today may win tomorrow.

How will he who does not know how to govern himself know how to govern others?

That which costs little is less valued.

Comparisons are odious.

Too much sanity may be madness and the maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.

One pays a lot, we all pay a lot, for awareness.

I’m certainly not aware of suppressing more sophisticated ambitions.

Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all.

I’m aware that, whatever the circumstances, there will always be speculation about me.

Understanding requires not just a moment of perception, but a continuous awareness, a continuous state of inquiry without conclusion

The galling harness of civilization drops off, and wounds heal ere we are aware.

We do not have to romanticize our past in order to be aware of how it seeds our present.

Those who are unaware they are walking in darkness will never seek the light.
