The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.

First and last, what is demanded of genius is love of truth.

A plant is like a self-willed man, out of whom we can obtain all which we desire, if we will only treat him his own way.

Choose well. Your choice is brief, and yet endless.

We usually lose today, because there has been a yesterday, and tomorrow is coming.

If there is confusion in your head and in your heart, what more do you want! A man who no longer loves and no longer errs should have himself buried straight away.

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.
