Diligence is the mother of good fortune.

The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.

In quietness the soul expands.

Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.

I'm doing many different things to prepare for the inevitable failure of one of them.

I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.

If you need something from somebody, always give that person a way to hand it to you.

There is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.

The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.

The excursion is the same when you go looking for your sorrow as when you go looking for your joy.

Above all, don't fear difficult moments. The best comes from them.
