Whoever makes it a rule to test action by thought, thought by action, cannot falter, and if he does, will soon find his way back to the right road.

Everything is hard before it is easy.

Unrest and uncertainty are our lot.

The hardest thing is to see what's under your very eyes.

Hope is the second soul of the unhappy.

The one who acts is always without conscience; nobody has a conscience but the contemplative person.

The happy do not believe in miracles.
