Follow your own star!
Where the way is hardest, there go thou; Follow your own path and let people talk.
He who sees a need and waits to be asked for help is as unkind as if he had refused it.
Thou shall know by experience how salt the savor is of others' bread, and how sad a path it is to climb and descend another's stairs.
These have not the hope to die.
Fame is not won on downy plumes nor under canopies; the man who consumes his days without obtaining it leaves such mark of himself on earth as smoke in air or foam on water.
