This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.
No great man ever complains of want of opportunity.
Little minds have little worries; big minds have no time for worries.
The reward of a thing well done is having done it.
Life is a festival only to the wise.
Without a rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar.
Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.
A man’s wife has more power over him than the state has.
