The mountain cannot frighten one who was born on it.
Virtue is no empty echo.
Lose not yourself in a far off time, seize the moment that is thine.
If you cannot please everyone with your deeds and your art, please a few. To please many is bad.
Think with awe on the slow and quiet power of time.
There are occasions when the general belief of the people, even though it be groundless, works its effect as sure as truth itself.
