The happy man is he who knows his limitations, yet bows to no false gods.

It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out; it's the grain of sand in your shoe.

A promise made is a debt unpaid.

Carry on! Carry on! Fight the good fight and true; Believe in you mission, greet life with a cheer.

The only society I like is rough and tough, and the tougher the better. There's where you get down to bedrock and meet human people.

Old Year! upon the Stage of Time You stand to bow your last adieu; A moment, and the prompter's chime Will ring the curtain down on you.

Avoid extremes: be moderate In saving and in spending; An equable and easy gait Will win an easy ending.
