Hold your powers together for something good and let everything go that is for you without result and is not suited to you.

We are not all equal, nor can we be so.

Every situation--nay, every moment--is of infinite worth; for it is the representative of a whole eternity.

I examine my own being, and find there a world, but a world rather of imagination and dim desires, than of distinctness and living power. Then everything swims before my senses, and I smile and dream while pursuing my way through the world.

One that does not think to highly of himself is more than he thinks.

On the pinnacle of success man does not stand firm long.

I respect the man who knows distinctly what he wants.
