A man of courage is also full of faith.

More is lost by indecision than wrong decision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity. It will steal you blind.

Our span of life is brief, but is long enough for us to live well and honestly.

There is pleasure in calm remembrance of a past sorrow.

The causes of events are ever more interesting than the events themselves.

It is the character of a brave and resolute man not to be ruffled by adversity and not to desert his post.

Should this my firm persuasion of the soul's immortality prove to be a mere delusion, it is at least a pleasing delusion, and I will cherish it to my last breath.
