Ambition is like hunger; it obeys no law but its appetite
A good way I know to find happiness, is to not bore a hole to fit the plug.
Anxiety will bear a lot of nuisance.
It ain't no disgrace for a man to fall, but to lie there and grunt is.
Experience is a grindstone; and it is lucky for us, if we can get brightened by it, and not ground.
As in a game ov cards, so in the game ov life, we must play what is dealt tew us, and the glory consists, not so mutch in winning, as in playing a poor hand well.
