Always desire to learn something useful.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Know or listen to those who know.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Poetry is of so subtle a spirit, that in the pouring out of one language into another it will evaporate.
Books should to one of these fours ends conduce, for wisdom, piety, delight, or use.
