The heart has such an influence over the understanding, that it is worth while to engage it in our interest.

Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination: never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

The greatest dangers have their allurements, if the want of success is likely to be attended with a degree of glory. Middling dangers are horrid, when the loss of reputation is the inevitable consequence of ill success.

Real friendship is a slow grower.

People hate who makes you feel one's inferiority.

A weak mind is like a microscope, which magnifies trifling things but cannot receive great ones.

The heart never grows better by age; I fear rather worse; always harder.
