Pounds are the sons, not of pounds, but of pence.
In life, as in chess, forethought wins.
The longer I live, the more deeply am I convinced that that which makes the difference between one person and another-between the weak and the powerful, the great and the insignificant-is energy-invisible determination.
You cannot win without sacrifice.
You have not fulfilled every duty unless you have fulfilled that of being pleasant.
Success soon palls. The joyous time is when the breeze first strikes your sails, and the waters rustle under your bows.
