"If you want a thing done well, do it yourself" — Napoleon

What a man needs in gardening is a cast-iron back, with a hinge in it.

The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit

Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous

My health may be better preserved if I exert myself less, but in the end doesn't each person give his life for his calling?

If you care enough for a result, you will most certainly attain it

Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.
