One mind is enough for a thousand hands.

Everything that we encounter leaves traces behind. Everything contributes imperceptibly to our education

There are but two roads that lead to an important goal and to the doing of great things: strength and perseverance.

The greatest genius will not be worth much if he pretends to draw exclusively from his own resources

Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days... What you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it.

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

As long as you don't practice it, this dying and becoming, You are only a dreary guest on this dark earth.

To be pleased with one's limits is a wretched state.
