Ten thousand men possess ten thousand hopes. |
That glittering hope is immemorial and beckons many men to their undoing. |
The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man. |
The best of seers is he who guesses well. |
The best prophet is common sense, our native wit. |
The bold are helpless without cleverness |
The gifts of bad men bring no good with them. |
The good and the wise lead quiet lives. |
The good and the wise lead quiet lives. |
The greatest pleasure of life is love. |
The lucky person passes for a genius |
The man that isn't jolly after drinking Is just a driveling idiot, to my thinking |
The man who knows when not to act is wise. To my mind, bravery is forethought. |
The wavering mind is but a base possession |
The whole wide ether is the eagle's way: The whole earth is a brave man's fatherland |
