“Along with success comes a reputation for wisdom.”

Some wisdom you must learn from one who’s wise.

Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses his past and is dead for the future.

It’s the wise man who stays home when he’s drunk.

We must take care of our minds because we cannot benefit from beauty when our brains are missing.

Let a man accept his destiny, No pity and no tears.

Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

Authority is never without hate.

Money is far more persuasive than logical arguments.

For in other ways a woman is full of fear, defenseless, dreads the sight of cold steel; but, when once she is wronged in the matter of love, no other soul can hold so many thoughts of blood.

I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

The language of truth is simple.

Anger exceeding limits causes fear and excessive kindness eliminates respect.

Come back. Even as a shadow, even as a dream.

It is a good thing to be rich and strong, but it is a better thing to be loved.

Death is what men want when the anguish of living is more than they can bear.

In case of dissension, never dare to judge till you’ve heard the other side.

Make the most of yourself for that is all there is of you.

It is not where you start but how high you aim that matters for success.

However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.

Whatever you do, do it well. Do it so well that when people see you do it they will want to come back and see you do it again and they will want to bring others and show them how well you do what you do.

If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.

Courage is not having the strength to go on; it is going on when you don’t have the strength.

Lightning makes no sound until it strikes.

What is a teacher? I’ll tell you: it isn’t someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student to give of her best in order to discover what she already knows.
