However things may seem, no evil thing is success and no good thing is failure.
From Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.
It takes less time to do a thing right, than it does to explain why you did it wrong.
Method is more important than strength, when you wish to control your enemies. By dropping golden beads near a snake, a crow once managed To have a passer-by kill the snake for the beads.
The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after.
He that respects himself is safe from others. He wears a coat of mail that none can pierce.
Into each life some rain must fall.
Resolve and thou art free.
Love keeps the cold out better than a cloak.
Build today, then strong and sure, With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure. Shall tomorrow find its place.
