“So long as a person is capable of self-renewal they are a living being.”

Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark.

Almost everything comes from nothing.

Work while you have the light. You are responsible for the talent that has been entrusted to you.

In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time.

Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.
