Ridicule is a weak weapon when pointed at a strong mind; but common people are cowards and dread an empty laugh.

Have a strong mind and a soft heart.

Texans have in common with Australians, in that they are quite strong, hardy people.

The weak have one weapon: the errors of those who think they are strong.

Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.

Strong people make as many mistakes as weak people. Difference is that strong people admit their mistakes, laugh at them, learn from them. That is how they become strong.
