Living well is the best revenge.

Eat to live, and not live to eat.

There is nothing happens to any person but what was in his power to go through with.

There is an eagle in me that wants to soar, and there is a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud.

Sometimes hath the brightest day a cloud; and after summer evermore succeeds barren winter, with his wrathful nipping cold: so cares and joys abound, as seasons fleet.

Most of the luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts, of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.

Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living.
