Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
It's always too early to quit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Only the educated are free.
It was so quiet that morning in Paris that the heels of my two companions and myself were loud on the deserted pavements. It was a city of shuttered shops, and barred windows, and deserted avenues.
