The highest cannot be spoken; it can only be acted.

The day is committed to error and floundering; success and achievement are matters of long range.

One mind is enough for a thousand hands.

Happy is it, indeed, for me that my heart is capable of feeling the same simple and innocent pleasure as the peasant whose table is covered with food of his own rearing, and who not only enjoys his meal, but remembers with delight the happy days and sunny mornings when he planted it, the soft evenings when he watered it, and the pleasure he experienced in watching its daily growth.

Let no one be like another, yet everyone like the highest. How is this done? Be each one perfect in himself.

What you desire when young, you have in abundance when old.

It is equally a mistake to hold one's self too high, or to rate one's self too cheap.
