Every man who observes vigilantly and resolves steadfastly grows unconsciously into genius.

If thou be industrious to procure wealth, be generous in the disposal of it. Man never is so happy as when he giveth happiness unto another.

A fool flatters himself, a wise man flatters the fool.

Happy is the man who hath never known what it is to taste of fame -to have it is a purgatory, to want it is a Hell!
