No confict is so severe as his who labors to subdue himself.

The reflections on a day well spent furnish us with joys more pleasing than ten thousand triumphs.

Would to God that we might spend a single day really well!

Now is the time to be doing, now is the time to be stirring, now is the time to amend myself.

I have often heard, that it is safer to hear and to take counsel, than to give it.

Set not thyself to attain much rest, but much patience.

Remember always your end, and that lost time does not return.
