Ignorance is the cause of fear.

Why will no man confess his faults? Because he continues to indulge in them; a man cannot tell his dream till he wakes.

To the person who does not know where he wants to go there is no favorable wind.

Not a soul takes thought how well he may live- only how long: yet a good life might be everybody's, a long one can be nobody's.

But when you are looking on anyone as a friend when you do not trust him as you trust yourself, you are making a grave mistake, and have failed to grasp sufficiently the full force of true friendship.

Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.

We suffer more in imagination than in reality.
