The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.

The best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

Men of perverse opinion do not know the excellence of what is in their hands, till some one dash it from them.

Learn everything that is good from others, but bring it in, and in your own way absorb it; do not become others.

Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the ax.

You have to go the way your blood beats.

The era we are living in today is a dream coming true.
