Persistent kindness conquers the ill-disposed.
What is required is not a lot words, but effectual ones.
Freedom is not being a slave to any circumstance, to any constraint, to any chance; it means compelling Fortune to enter the lists on equal terms.
Fortune dreads the brave, and is only terrible to the coward.
Know thyself; this is the great object.
Make haste to live, and consider each day a life.
