“The good and wise lead quite lives.”

The care of God for us is a great thing, if a man believe it at heart: it plucks the burden of sorrow from him.

The company of just and righteous men is better than wealth and a rich estate.

There is one thing alone that stands the brunt of life throughout its course; a quiet conscience.

This is slavery, not to speak one’s thought.

I know indeed what evil I intend to do, but stronger than all my afterthoughts is my fury, fury that brings upon mortals the greatest evils.

It’s human; we all put self interest first.

He is not a lover who does not love forever.

Along with success comes a reputation for wisdom.

The fiercest anger of all, the most incurable, Is that which rages in the place of dearest love.

Your worst enemy Becomes your best friend, once he’s underground.

When a man’s stomach is full it makes no difference whether he is rich or poor.

He who believes needs no explanation.

I loathe a friend whose gratitude grows old, a friend who takes his friend’s prosperity but will not voyage with him in his grief.

No one who goes against her can win.

Courage is the gift of character

The God knows when to smile.

If I could I would always work in silence and obscurity, and let my efforts be known by their results.

I don’t worry about the storms, I am learning to sail my own ship.

Life is the question and life is the answer, and God is the reason and love is the way.

Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.

Between the wish and the thing the world lies waiting.

Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.

Hard work beats all the tonics and vitamins in the world.

There is no greater power than that of the sun, the moon, and a woman who knows her worth.
