There is nothing happens to any person but what was in his power to go through with.

Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.

Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.

Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it... Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a result is no trifle.

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

How much time he saves who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks.

Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.

You must become an old man in good time if you wish to be an old man long.
