Fear clogs; Faith liberates.

The average woman sees only the weak points in a strong man, and the good points in a weak one.

What boy well raised can compare with your street gamin who has the knowledge and the shrewdness of a grown-up broker.

One can endure sorrow alone, but it takes two to be glad.

The difference in men does not lie in the size of their hands, nor in the perfection of their bodies, but in this one sublime ability of concentration: to throw the weight in one blow, to live eternity in an hour.

Every life is its own excuse for being, and to deny or refute the untrue things that are said of you is an error in judgment. All wrong recoils upon the doer, and the person who makes wrong statements about others is themselves to be pitied, not the person they vilify. It is better to be lied about than to lie. At the last no one can harm us but ourselves.

Don't make excuses, make good.
