“Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.”

Do not waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.

Skill to do comes of doing.

It is only when the mind and character slumber that the dress can be seen.

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

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your reactions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

Each man has his own vocation; his talent is his call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.
