Neither love nor terror makes one blind: indifference makes one blind.

Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.

If there's love in a house, it's a palace for sure.

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

Enthusiasm is the great hill-climber.

You will never get any more out of life than you expect.

You mustn't confuse a single failure with a final defeat.

Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.

If you want to look good in front of thousands, you have to outwork thousands in front of nobody.

Act as if someone just said there’s no reason to be afraid.

If you look for perfection, you will never be satisfied.

I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.
