With confidence, you have won before you have started.

Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.

If you follow the natural intentions, you get the most success out of life.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

There is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.

There will always be someone who can't see your worth. Don't let it be you.

Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.

The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.

Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.

Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.

It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.

Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.
