Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.

I am a soldier, I fight where I am told and I win where I fight.

Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.

The only way to escape the corruptible effect of praise is to go on working.

Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

Beauty is simply reality seen with the eyes of love.
