“Most of the shadows of life are caused by standing in our own sunshine.”

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

The years teach much which the days never know.

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

Life is a succession of lessons, which must be lived to be understood.

Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light.

Go put your creed into the deed. Nor speak with double tongue.

In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed.
