A fair request should be followed by the deed in silence

For where the instrument of intelligence is added to brute power and evil will, mankind is powerless in its own defense

Beauty awakens the soul to act

Remember tonight.. for it is the beginning of always.

Small projects need much more help than great ones

The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come

Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, and now that, and changes name as it changes direction

The sad souls of those who lived without blame and without praise.

He listens well who takes notes.

You shall find out how salt is the taste of another man's bread, and how hard is the way up and down another man's stairs

A mighty flame evolves from a tiny spark

Heaven wheels above you, displaying to you her eternal glories, and still your eyes are on the ground

Nature is the art of God

If thou follow thy star, thou canst not fail of a glorious heaven.

The more perfect a thing is, the more susceptible to good and bad treatment it is

There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery

In the middle of the road of my life I awoke in the dark wood where the true way was wholly lost

The secret of getting things done is to act!

The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.
