Nothing should be valued higher than the value of the day.

One cannot always be a hero, but one can always be a man.

Pain and pleasure, good and evil, come to us from unexpected sources. It is not there where we have gathered up our brightest hopes, that the dawn of happiness breaks. It is not there where we have glanced our eye with affright, that we find the deadliest gloom. What should this teach us? To bow to the great and only Source of light, and live humbly and with confiding resignation.

The day is of infinite length for him who knows how to appreciate and use it.

A person places themselves on a level with the ones they praise.

All professional men are handicapped by not being allowed to ignore things which are useless.

One errs as long as one strives.
