What one has wished for in youth, in old age one has in abundance.
Unlike grown ups, children have little need to deceive themselves.
Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.
The threshold is the place of expectation.
A person is never happy till their vague strivings has itself marked out its proper limitations.
The iron hand of necessity commands, and her stern decree is supreme law, to which the gods even must submit. In deep silence rules the uncounselled sister of eternal fate. Whatever she lays upon thee, endure; perform whatever she commands.
