Fortune is an evil chain to the body, and vice to the soul.
Nothing great comes into being all at once.
Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it.
No great thing is created suddenly.
What really frightens and dismays us is not external events themselves, but the way in which we think about them. It is not things that disturb us, but our interpretation of their significance.
We all carry the seeds of greatness within us, but we need an image as a point of focus in order that they may sprout.
