No man can achieve a praiseworthy life unless he listens to the whisper which is heard by him alone.

The best revenge in life is living.

Let the birth of each new day be your own rebirth; grow, learn, love, admire. Revel in possibility.

Seek not to know where the path may lead, only to keep your feet upon it.

We must be our own before we can be another’s.

If you would command anything, be willing to cause anything.

The eye of your mind—your intelligence; the eye of your heart—your conscience; and the eye of your soul—your instinct.

Time thins the cloth of memory. As the ages pass, its rich colors fade. Strong wool is beaten by the elements until the pattern of its lesson disintegrates, leaving holes in the truth it was meant to carry on. Even the stains of blood bend and bleed, leaving but faded blotches without meaning, mere shadows of lessons that came before, their warnings lost within the obscure impression that remains.

Fear was the worst evil ever to plague a man, for with it came hesitation and with that, inaction, failure, death.
