“Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter. Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it.”

Great talent finds happiness in execution.

Mountains cannot be surmounted except by winding paths.

Wherever a man may happen to turn, whatever a man may undertake, he will always end up by returning to the path which nature has marked out for him.

The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it.

In the end we retain from our studies only that which we practically apply.

The really unhappy person is the one who leaves undone what they can do, and starts doing what they don't understand; no wonder they come to grief.

Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.

What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.
