Read to live, not live to read.

There is but one philosophy and its name is fortitude! To bear is to conquer our fate.

To mourn deeply for the death of another loosens from myself the petty desire for, and the animal adherence to life. We have gained the end of the philosopher, and view without shrinking the coffin and the pall.

Genius is but fine observation strengthened by fixity of purpose.

We are born for a higher destiny than that of earth; there is a realm where the rainbow never fades, where the stars will be spread before us like islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the beings that pass before us like shadows will stay in our presence forever.

Revolutions are not made with rosewater.

There is no such thing as luck. It's a fancy name for being always at our duty, and so sure to be ready when good time comes.
