Duty is the demand of the hour.

Too rigid scruples are concealed pride.

What you have inherited from your forefathers, it takes work to make it your own.

It is bad governments, not bad people, who cause revolutions.

The phrases that men hear or repeat continually, end by becoming convictions and ossify the organs of intelligence.

It is not given to us to grasp the truth, which is identical with the divine, directly. We perceive it only in reflection, in example and symbol, in singular and related appearances. It meets us as a kind of life which is incomprehensible to us, and yet we cannot free ourselves from the desire to comprehend it.

Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days... What you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it.
