happiness mind faces
Our minds are as different as our faces. We are all traveling to one destination: happiness, but few are going by the same road.
gratitude grateful language
No metaphysician ever felt the deficiency of language so much as the grateful.
friends true-friend book
Books, like friends, should be few and well chosen. Like friends, too, we should return to them again and again for, like true friends, they will never fail us - never cease to instruct - never cloy.
sad death suicide
Suicide sometimes proceeds from cowardice, but not always; for cowardice sometimes prevents it; since as many live because they are afraid to die, as die because they are afraid to live.
ocean sea waiting
It is better to meet danger than to wait for it. He that is on a lee shore, and foresees a hurricane, stands out to sea and encounters a storm to avoid a shipwreck.
truth honesty integrity
Nothing more completely baffles one who is full of trick and duplicity, than straightforward and simple integrity in another.
education teaching knowledge
Examinations are formidable even to the best prepared, for the greatest fool may ask more than the wisest man can answer.
literature action conflict
Those that are the loudest in their threats are the weakest in their actions.
sad broken-heart lonely
To dare to live alone is the rarest courage; since there are many who had rather meet their bitterest enemy in the field, than their own hearts in their closet.
time journey men
Much may be done in those little shreds and patches of time which every day produces, and which most men throw away.
determination past age
How small a portion of our life it is that we really enjoy! In youth we are looking forward to things that are to come; in old age we are looking backward to things that are gone past; in manhood, although we appear indeed to be more occupied in things that are present, yet even that is too often absorbed in vague determinations to be vastly happy on some future day when we have time.
hate anger racism
We hate some persons because we do not know them; and will not know them because we hate them.
math magnificence study
The study of mathematics, like the Nile, begins in minuteness but ends in magnificence.
love running self-esteem
If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you, fill her above the brim with love of herself; all that runs over will be yours.
