The boxer's ring is the enjoyment of the part of society whose animal nature alone has been developed.

Every man is actually weak, and apparently strong. To himself, he seems weak; to others, formidable.

Every true man is a cause, a country, and an age; requires infinite spaces and numbers and time fully to accomplish his design;--and posterity seem to follow his steps as a train of clients.

Teach me your mood, O patient stars. Who climb each night, the ancient sky. leaving on space no shade, no scars, no trace of age, no fear to die.

Little minds have little worries, big minds have no time for worries.

There is a crack in everything God has made

Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.
