Has any man ever obtained inner harmony by simply reading about the experiences of others? Not since the world began has it ever happened. Each man must go through the fire himself.
No one can expect a majority to be stirred by motives other than ignoble.
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
To find a friend one must close one eye. To keep him...two.
How often could things be remedied by a word. How often is it left unspoken.
The pine stays green in winter... wisdom in hardship.
