These are the times in life — when nothing happens — but in quietness the soul expands.

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its troubles, but it empties it of its strength.

The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love.

Injustice makes the rules, and courage breaks them.
