Never rely on the glory of the morning nor the smiles of your mother-in-law.
For visions come not to polluted eyes.
Have you ever observed that we pay much more attention to a wise passage when it is quoted than when we read it in the original author?
The only time to buy these is on a day with no 'y' in it.
All great truths begin as blasphemies.
Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Above all things, never be afraid. The enemy who forces you to retreat is himself afraid of you at that very moment.
