The great blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach; but we shut our eyes, and, like people in the dark, we fall foul upon the very thing we search for, without finding it.

Time discovers truth.

There is nothing wrong with changing a plan when the situation has changed.

The key to getting everything you want is to never put all your begs in one ask-it!

Let the man, who would be grateful, think of repaying a kindness, even while receiving it.

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

A favor is to a grateful man delightful always; to an ungrateful man only once.
