“I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.”

I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted.

Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.

Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity.

Each misfortune you encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrows good luck.

Say, O hero! Say — my head is held high!
