The little troubles and worries of life may be as stumbling blocks in our way, or we may make them stepping-stones to a nobler character and to Heaven. Troubles are often the tools by which God fashions us for better things.
There is always work, and tools to work withal, for those, who will.
Nothing can be further apart than true humility and servility.
Too much looking backward ... is bad for progress.

It usually takes a hundred years to make a law, and then, after it has done its work; it usually takes a hundred years to get rid of it.
