I've a great fancy to see my own funeral afore I die.

Health can make money, but money cannot make health.

When one illusion vanishes, another shall appear, and, still leading me forward towards an horizon that retreats as I advance, the happy prospect of futurity shall vanish only with my existence.

There is no moment like the present. The man who will not execute his resolutions when they are fresh upon him can have no hope from them afterwards: they will be dissipated, lost, and perish in the hurry and scurry of the world, or sunk in the slough of indolence.

Hope can produce the finest and most permanent springs of action.

We may make our future by the best use of the present. There is no moment like the present.
