In truth, people can generally make time for what they choose to do; it is not really the time but the will that is wanting.

A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work.

Our duty is to believe that for which we have sufficient evidence, and to suspend our judgment when we have not.

If we are ever in doubt what to do, it is a good rule to ask ourselves what we shall wish on the morrow that we had done.

When we have done our best, we should wait the result in peace.

If we succeed in giving the love of learning, the learning itself is sure to follow.

Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us; and true progress is to know more, and be more, and to do more.
