A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.
Christian Nevell Bovee
Enthusiasm is the inspiration of everything great. Without it no man is to be feared, and with it none despised.
Doubt whom you will, but never yourself.
Kindness is a language the dumb can speak and the deaf can hear and understand.
Hope is the best part of our riches.
Tranquil pleasures last the longest; we are not fitted to bear the burden of great joys.
A pleasant illusion is better than a harsh reality.
False friends are like our shadow, keeping close to us while we walk in the sunshine, but leaving us the instant we cross into the shade.
Wine is a treacherous friend who you must always be on guard for.
We trifle when we assign limits to our desires, since nature hath set none.
No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities.
Affliction, like the iron-smith, shapes as it smites.
