In every part and corner of our life, to lose oneself is to be a gainer; to forget oneself is to be happy.

In each of us, two natures are at war – the good and the evil. All our lives the fight goes on between them, and one of them must conquer. But in our own hands lies the power to choose – what we want most to be we are.

For will anyone dare to tell me that business is more entertaining than fooling among boats? He must have never seen a boat, or never seen an office, who says so.

Nobody speaks of a beautifful view for 5 minutes

Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.

In every part and corner of our life, to lose oneself is to be a gainer; to forget oneself is to be happy.

A great part of this life consists in contemplating what we cannot cure.
