What one has to do usually can be done.
From Eleanor Roosevelt
Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn't have the power to say yes.
Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.

In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.
It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself.

Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun; as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and evening so large, almost entirely disappear at midday.
Ambition is pitiless. Any merit that it cannot use it finds despicable.
