The man who masters himself is delivered from the force that binds all creatures.

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

Just trust yourself and you'll learn the art of living.

Happy the man who early learns the wide chasm that lies between his wishes and his powers.

Patriotism ruins history.

Still this planet's soil for noble deeds grants scope abounding.
