In the realm of ideas everything depends on enthusiasm... in the real world all rests on perseverance.

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

Every day look at a beautiful picture, read a beautiful poem, listen to some beautiful music, and if possible, say some reasonable thing.

The formation of one's character ought to be everyone's chief aim.
