You may share the labors of the great, but you will not share the spoil.

Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth.

It is easy to despise what you cannot get

Every man carries two bags about him, one in front and one behind, and both are full of faults. The bag in front contains his neighbors' faults, the one behind his own. Hence it is that men do not see their own faults, but never fail to see those of others.

The level of our success is limited only by our imagination and no act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted.

Destroy the seed of evil, or it will grow up to your ruin.
