He who seeks does not find, but he who does not seek will be found.

He who has a task to perform must know how to take sides, or he is quite unworthy of it.

A man has always to be busy with his thoughts if anything is to be accomplished.

Few things are brought to a successful issue by impetuous desire, but most by calm and prudent forethought.

A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.
