Vivacity, leadership, must be had, and we are not allowed to be nice in choosing. We must fetch the pump with dirty water, if clean cannot be had.
There is more in every person's soul than we think.
Intellect annuls fate. So far as a man thinks he is free.
In failing circumstances no one can be relied on to keep their integrity.
A strenuous soul hates cheap success.
Power ceases in the instant of repose; it resides in the moment of transition from a past to a new state, in the shooting of the gulf, in the darting to an aim.
