"Against criticism a man can neither protest nor defend himself; he must act in spite of it, and then it will gradually yield to him." "As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live." "Certain defects are necessary for the existence of individuality." "Correction does much, but encouragement does more." "Divide and rule, a sound motto; unite and lead, a better one." "Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must." "Everything is simpler than you think and at the same time more complex than you imagine." "He who is plenteously provided for from within, needs but little from without." "If god had wanted me otherwise, he would have created me otherwise." "It is not doing the thing we like to do, but liking the thing we have to do, that makes life blessed." "Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do." "A man's manners are a mirror in which he shows his portrait." "Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen." "Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is." "Nothing is worth more than this day." "Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world." "There are two things children should get from their parents: roots and wings." "There is nothing in which people more betray their character than in what they laugh at." "There is nothing worse than imagination without taste." "We are shaped and fashioned by what we love." "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it; boldness has genius, power and magic in it."
