Execute every act of thy life as though it were thy last.
From Marcus Aurelius
Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself. Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise.
There is nothing happens to any person but what was in his power to go through with.
To understand the true quality of people, you must look into their minds, and examine their pursuits and aversions.
Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
Perhaps there are none more lazy, or more truly ignorant, than your everlasting readers.
Each day provides its own gifts.
Poverty is the mother of crime.
Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.
Our life is what our thoughts make it.
