No garden is without its weeds.

Old age is no place for sissies.

A series of failures may culminate in the best possible result.

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

If I had to define life in a word, it would be: Life is creation.

Some people live as though they are already dead. There are people moving around us who are consumed by their past, terrified of their future, and stuck in their anger and jealousy. They are not alive; they are just walking corpses.

The truth is always exciting. Speak it, then. Life is dull without it.

There are a thousand excuses for failure but never a good reason.

Rest not! Life is sweeping by; go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time.

Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.
