I have often heard that the outstanding man is he who thinks deeply about a problem, and the next is he who listens carefully to advice.

He is truly a man who will not permit himself to be unduly elated when fortune's breeze is favorable, or cast down when it is adverse.

Resistance to criminal rashness comes better late than never.

Luck is of little moment to the great general, for it is under the control of his intellect and his judgment.

Toil and pleasure, in their natures opposite, are yet linked together in a kind of necessary connection.

That business does not prosper which you transact with the eyes of others.
