“Good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose.”

To be great is to be misunderstood.

If the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him.

If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and adore.

The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going.

Truth, and goodness, and beauty are but different faces of the same all.

Great are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force, that thoughts rule the world.

Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.

It is only when the mind and character slumber that the dress can be seen.
