Ignorance never settles a question.

Whenever you see a man who is successful in society, try to discover what makes him pleasing, and if possible adopt his system.

A dark horse, which had never been thought of, rushed past the grandstand in sweeping triumph.

A sophisticated rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity.

All of us encounter, at least once in our life, some individual who utters words that make us think forever. There are men whose phrases are oracles; who condense in one sentence the secrets of life; who blurt out an aphorism that forms a character or illustrates an existence.

Apologies only account for that which they do not alter.

A consistent soul believes in destiny, a capricious one in chance.
