It is only the surprise and newness of the thing which makes that misfortune terrible which by premeditation might be made easy to us. For that which some people make light by sufferance, others do by foresight.
A good mind possesses a kingdom.
While we are postponing, life speeds by.
Whenever the speech is corrupted so is the mind.
The greater part of progress is the desire to progress.
Refrain from following the example of those whose craving is for attention, not their own improvement.
