Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. Poverty makes you sad as well as wise. Work, alternated with needful rest, is the salvation of man or woman. Let's face it, some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Do not pray by heart, but with the heart. Freedom is not for the timid. Writers write to influence their readers, their preachers, their auditors, but always, at bottom, to be more themselves. God gave us our memories so that we might have roses in December. Beauty is everlasting And dust is for a time. The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. Misery is a communicable disease. He nothing common did, or mean, Upon that memorable scene. Honest statesmanship is the wise employment of individual meannesses for the public good. Let us have faith that right makes might; and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it. Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing. Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin as self-neglecting. All glory comes from daring to begin. All things come round to him who will but wait. My recipe for life is not being afraid of myself, afraid of what I think or of my opinions. I have never understood why one's affections must be confined, as once with women, to a single country.
