Courage makes a man more than himself; for he is then himself plus his valor.

The flower which we do not pluck is the only one which never loses its beauty or its fragrance.

A fretful fancy is constantly flinging its possessor into gratuitous tophets.

God's mills grind slow, But they grind woe.

Reserve may be pride fortified in ice; dignity is worth reposing on truth.

Beware the deadly fumes of that insane elation Which rises from the cup of mad impiety, And go, get drunk with that divine intoxication Which is more sober far than all sobriety.

Keep your working power at its maximum.
