There are good and bad times, but our mood changes more often than our fortune.
From Thomas Carlyle
What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books.
It is a strange trade that of advocacy. Your intellect, your highest heavenly gift is hung up in the shop window like a loaded pistol for sale.
A well-written life is almost as rare as a well-spent one.
Nothing builds self-esteem and self-confidence like accomplishment.
If you are ever in doubt as to whether to kiss a pretty girl, always give her the benefit of the doubt.
Go as far as you can see; when you get there you'll be able to see farther.
Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness.
Men do less than they ought, unless they do all that they can.
In books lies the soul of the whole past time.
