I’ll turn over a new leaf.

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

Instead of speaking saintly words we must act them.

What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.

There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it.

To endure is the first thing that a child ought to learn, and that which he will have the most need to know.

This is the mark of a really admirable man: steadfastness in the face of trouble.

A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.

Whenever sorrow comes, be kind to it. For God has placed a pearl in sorrow’s hand.

The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
