 To rule is easy, to govern difficult. |
| To see I was born, To look is my call, To the tower sworn, I delight in all. I glance out far, And see what is near... You blessed eyes, What you saw everywhere, |
| To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants. |
| To tremble before anticipated evils is to bemoan what thou hast never lost. |
| To understand one thing well is better than understanding many things by halves. |
| Traveling is like gambling: it is always connected with winning and losing, and generally where it is least expected we receive, more or less than what we hoped for. |
| Treat a man as if he were what he ought to be and you help him become what he is capable of being |
| Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of being |
| Unlike grown-ups, children have little need to deceive themselves |
| Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now. |
| Upon the creatures we have made, we are, ourselves, at last, dependent. |
| Viewed from the summit of reason, all life looks like a malignant disease and the world like a madhouse |
| We always have time enough, if we will but use it aright. |
| We are accustomed to see men deride what they do not understand, and snarl at the good and beautiful because it lies beyond their sympathies |
| We are forced to participate in the games of life before we can possibly learn how to use the options in the rules governing them. |
