Thy soul is by vile fear assailed, which oft so overcasts a man, that he recoils from noblest resolution, like a beast at some false semblance in the twilight gloom.

Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, and now that, and changes name as it changes direction.

The secret of getting things done is to act!

Where the way is hardest, there go thou; Follow your own path and let people talk.

Be as a tower firmly set; Shakes not its top for any blast that blows.

Love kindled by virtue always kindles another, provided that its flame appear outwardly.

Blessed are the peacemakers, For they have freed themselves from sinful wrath.
