Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, there are no limits.

You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.

Great is he, who conquers the frightful. Sublime is he, who, while succumbing to it, fears it not.

If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties.

The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.

As the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly, our own.

If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.

Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for. Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us.
