To be happy is not the purpose for which you are placed in this world.
Carelessness is inexcusable, and merits the inevitable sequence.
If you think you can temper yourself into manliness by sitting here over your books, it is the very silliest fancy that ever tempted a young man to his ruin. You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
As we advance in life, we learn the limits of our abilities.
Justice without wisdom is impossible.
Those who seek for something more than happiness in this world must not complain if happiness is not their portion.
