You will be as much value to others as you have been to yourself.

People don't know the value of what they have until it is gone: Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.... Liberty is rendered even more precious by the recollection of servitude. Don't wait till freedom is gone before you enjoy, value, support, protect and make the most of it!

We are not born for ourselves alone.

It shows a brave and resolute spirit not to be agitated in exciting circumstances.

Probabilities direct the conduct of the wise man.

There is, I know not how, a certain presage, as it were, of a future existence; and this takes the deepest root, and is most discoverable, in the greatest geniuses and most exalted souls.

Thrift is a great revenue.
