Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful.

If something is wrong, fix it now. But train yourself not to worry, worry fixes nothing!

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he as imagined, he will meet with success unexpectedly in common hours.

You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.

Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear.

It wasn't until late in life that I discovered how easy it is to say "I don't know."

He who does not desire power is fit to hold it.

There has never been a shortage of people eager to draw up blueprints for running other people’s lives.

The greatest kindness one can render to any man is leading him to truth.

Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they will.

A leader who does not take advice is not a leader.

I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.

A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.

Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.

We should never permit ourselves to do anything that we are not willing to see our children do. We should set them an example that we wish them to imitate.

Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own; he who, secure within, can say, tomorrow, do thy worst, for I have lived today.

I pay no attention whatever to anybody's praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.

There is only one success—to be able to spend your life in your own way.

The stability of the internal medium is a primary condition for the freedom and independence of certain living bodies in relation to the environment surrounding them.

Those who enjoy responsibility usually get it; those who merely enjoy exercising authority usually lose it.

Protecting your virtue you have to learn to say no.

Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.

If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-nigh unless, since their chief purpose is to make us bear with patience the injustice of our fellows.

To be able to practice five things everywhere under the heaven constitutes perfect virtue. . . gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness and kindness.

Virtue is a state of war, and to live in it we have always to combat with ourselves.

We ought not to let either our joy at their faults or our grief at their success be idle, but in either case we ought to reflect, how we may become better than them by avoiding their errors, and by imitating their virtues not come short of them.

There is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest. Use both and overlook neither.
