I have found out one thing and that is, if you have an idea, and it is a good idea, if you only stick to it you will come out all right.

You are an Englishman, and have subsequently drawn the greatest prize in the lottery of life.

When people praise you, don't let it go to your head. When they criticize you, don't let it go to your heart.

To think of these stars that you see overhead at night, these vast worlds which we can never reach. I would annex the planets if I could; I often think of that. It makes me sad to see them so clear and yet so far.

The real fact is that I could no longer stand their eternal cold mutton.

Man begets, but land does not beget.
