“We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.”

Character develops itself in the stream of life.

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

Difficulties increase the nearer we get to the goal.

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.

Great talent finds happiness in execution.

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

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

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.
