Life is a precious gift. Don't waste it being unhappy, dissatisfied, or anything else you can be.

Every gift which is given, even though is be small, is in reality great, if it is given with affection

The present will not long endure.

The test of any man lies in action.

Not every truth is the better for showing its face undisguised; and often silence is the wisest thing for a man to heed.

Great deeds give choice of many tales. Choose a slight tale, enrich it large, and then let wise men listen.
