If you will believe me, you who are young, yours is the golden season of life. As you have heard it called, so it verily is, the seed-time of life; in which, if you do not sow, or if you sow tares instead of wheat, you cannot expect to reap well afterwards, and you will arrive at little. And in the course of years when you come to look back, if you have not done what you have heard from your advisers,-and among many counsellors there is wisdom,-you will bitterly repent when it is too late.

Not what you possess but what you do with what you have, determines your true worth.

Let me have my own way in exactly everything and a sunnier and pleasanter creature does not exist.

It is the feeling of injustice that is insupportable to all men.

Originality is a thing we constantly clamour for, and constantly quarrel with.

No man is born without ambitious worldly desires.

He that can work is born to be king of something.
