Chance happens to all, but to turn chance to account is the gift of few.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron LyttonThere is but one philosophy and its name is fortitude! To bear is to conquer our fate.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron LyttonDays are like years in the love of the young, when no bar, no obstacle, is between their hearts,--when the sun shines, and the course runs smooth--when their love is prosperous and confessed.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron LyttonIn beginning the world, if you don't wish to get chafed at every turn, fold up your pride carefully, put it under lock and key, and only let it out to air upon grand occasions. Pride is a garment all stiff brocade outside, all grating sackcloth on the side next to the skin.
