Oh, happy he who still hopes he can emerge from Error's boundless sea! - Faust.
Riches amassed in haste will diminish; but those collected by hand and little by little will multiply.

A noble person attracts noble people, and knows how to hold on to them.
Devote each day to the object then in time and every evening will find something done.
