Past tears are present strength.

There are thousands willing to do great things for one willing to do a small thing.

Age is not all decay; it is the ripening, the swelling, of the fresh life within, that withers and bursts the husk.

You must learn to be strong in the dark as well as in the day, else you will always be only half brave.

All haste implies weakness.

The doing of things from duty is but a stage on the road to the kingdom of truth and love.

I am an optimistic fatalist. This world and all its beginnings will pass on into something better.
