Never let the demands of tomorrow interfere with the pleasures and excitement of today.
If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.
Whatever you do, do it to the purpose; do it thoroughly, not superficially. Go to the bottom of things. Any thing half done, or half known, is in my mind, neither done nor known at all. Nay, worse, for it often misleads.
The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else.
When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.
You need only claim the event of your life to make yourself yours. When you truly possess all you have been and done, which may take some time, you are fierce with reality.
Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.
