You never find yourself until you face the truth

Never, never rest contented with any circle of ideas,but always be certain that a wider one is still possible

The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat one's self. All sin is easy after that

A crown, if it hurts us, is not worth wearing

When you're young, the silliest notions seem the greatest achievements.

A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive.
