“I am the child of Fortune, the giver of good, and I shall not be shamed. She is my mother; my sisters are the Seasons; my rising and my falling match with theirs. Born thus, I ask to be no other man than that I am.”

Success, remember is the reward of toil.

No treaty is ever an impediment to a cheat.

Profit is sweet, even if it comes from deception.

Do not believe that you alone can be right.The man who thinks that,The man who maintains that only he has the power To reason correctly, the gift to speak, the soul-A man like that, when you know him, turns out empty.

A wise doctor does not mutter incantations over a sore that needs the knife.

A man who takes pleasure in speaking continuously fools himself in thinking he is not unpleasant to those around him.

No honest man will argue on every side.

None love the messenger who brings bad news.

How dangerous can false reasoning prove!

Without labor nothing prospers.

Despair often breeds disease.

Fortune never helps the fainthearted.

It is better not to live at all than to live disgraced.

Go then if you must, but remember, no matter how foolish your deeds, those who love you will love you still.

Each say following another, either hastening or putting off our death–what pleasure does it bring? I count that man worthless whois cheered by empty hopes. No, a noble man must either live or die well.

All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.

The soul is healed by being with children.

When I was a child, if someone had talked to me about buying water, I would have thought it was a joke.

Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires

If all the rich and all of the church people should send their children to the public schools they would feel bound to concentrate their money on improving these schools until they met the highest ideals.

For a man’s counsel cannot have equal weight or worth, when he alone has no children to risk in the general danger.

The walls of the educational system must come down. Education should not be a privilege, so the children of those who have money can study.

I’ve worked with children all my life.
