The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving.
Man believes himself always greater than he is, and is esteemed less than he is worth.
Courage is the commitment to begin without any guarantee of success.
Those who hope for no other life are dead even for this.
What you desire when young, you have in abundance when old.
It is only necessary to grow old to become more charitable and even indulgent. I see no fault committed by others that I have not committed myself.
