The soil of their native land is dear to all the hearts of mankind. |
The spirit is the true self. The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. |
The thirst of desire is never filled, nor fully satisfied |
The welfare of the people is the ultimate law |
There are gems of thought that are ageless and eternal |
There are more men ennobled by study than by nature. |
There can be no friendship without confidence; and no confidence, without integrity |
There is no fortress so strong that money cannot take it |
There is no one so old as to not think they may live a day longer. |
There is no opinion so absurd that some philosopher will not express it |
There is no place more delightful than one's own fireplace. |
There is no sanctuary so holy that money cannot profane it, no fortress so strong that money cannot take it by storm |
There is not only an art, but an eloquence in it. |
There is nothing done by the hands of man which sometime or other time does not destroy |
There is nothing so absurd but some philosopher has said it. |
