That's the very reason they put rubbers on the end of pencils... because people make mistakes.

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

Enthusiasm is the great hill-climber.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

There’s not a word yet for old friends who’ve just met.

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

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.

The only thing people regret is that they didn’t live boldly enough, that they didn’t invest enough heart, didn’t love enough.

Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

We are all of us obliged... to nurse a few little follies in ourselves.

One shouldn't just hope to be treated well: one must insist on it.
