"My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not, you'll become a philosopher" — Socrates

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

An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps

Life has a higher end, than to be amused.

Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great

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?
