We are all prompted by the same motives, all deceived by the same fallacies, all animated by hope, obstructed by danger, entangled by desire, and seduced by pleasure

What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence.

Few things are impossible to diligence and skill ... Great works are performed, not by strength, but perseverance.

Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be.

What we hope ever to do with ease, we must first learn to do with diligence.

He that undervalues himself will undervalue others, and he that undervalues others will oppress them.
