People are slow to claim confidence in undertakings of magnitude.
Calumny ever pursues the great, even as the winds hurl themselves on high places.

What is without periods of rest will not endure.
For in this strange anatomy we wear, the head has greater powers than the hand; the spirit, heart, and mind are over all.
Opportunity is ever worth expecting; let your hood be ever hanging ready. The fish will be in the pool where you least imagine it to be.
