Fear not that the life shall come to an end, but rather fear that it shall never have a beginning.
The stupid speak of the past, the wise of the present, and fools of the future.
An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.
Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go.
A people which is able to say everything becomes able to do everything.
Pursue your object, be it what it will, steadily and indefatigably.
