To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you free.

Be grateful for your life, every detail of it

Most smiles are started by another smile

Be slow to fall into friendship, but when you are in, continue firm and constant.

Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.

Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.
