A good book is the best of friends, the same today and forever.
He who does not tire, tires adversity.
The most wretched have yet hope.
Not few nor light are the burdens of life; then load it not with heaviness of spirit.
A spark is a molecule of matter, yet may it kindle the world; vast is the mighty ocean, but drops have made it vast. Despise not thou small things, either for evil or for good; for a look may work thy ruin, or a word create thy wealth.
To despond is to lie ungrateful beforehand. Be not looking for evil. Often thou drainest the gall of fear while evil is passing by thy dwelling.
