I can tell you, honest friend, what to believe: believe life; it teaches better that book or orator.

Every bird has its decoy, and every man is led and misled in his own peculiar way.

You are, when all is done-just what you are.

To the world you might be one person, but to one person, you might be the world. Kindness is the golden chain by which our world is bound together.

Every step of life shows much caution is required.

The greatest evil that can befall man is that he should come to think ill of himself.

If you treat men the way they are you never improve them. If you treat them the way you want them to be, you do.
