"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundatio…" — Henry David Thoreau

We climb to heaven most often on the ruins of our cherished plans, finding our failures were successes

Politicians also have no leisure, because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself, power and glory, or happiness

An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.

Life has a higher end, than to be amused.

Our ideals are our better selves

Consider your origin; you were not born to live like brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge
