Expecting is the greatest impediment to living. In anticipation of tomorrow, it loses today.
Modesty once extinguished knows not how to return.
The willing, destiny guides them; the unwilling, destiny drags them.
He who fears from near at hand often fears less.
Choose as a guide one whom you will admire more when you see him act than when you hear him speak.
A hungry people listens not to reason, not cares for justice, nor is bent by any prayers.
