Love and desire are the spirit's wings to great deeds.

If you are convinced of a matter, you must take sides or you don't deserve to succeed.

The flowers of life are but visionary. How many pass away and leave no trace behind! How few yield any fruit,--and the fruit itself, how rarely does it ripen! And yet there are flowers enough; and is it not strange, my friend, that we should suffer the little that does really ripen to rot, decay, and perish unenjoyed?

Who is sure of their own motives can in confidence advance or retreat.

Who is the happiest man? He who is alive to the merit of others, and can rejoice in their enjoyment as if it were his own.

And step by step, along the path of life, There's nothing true but Heaven.

Death is Nature's expert advice to get plenty of Life.
