It's harder for a leader to be born in a palace than to be born in a cabin.
A sure sign of an amateur is too much detail to compensate for too little life.
You cannot be friends upon any other terms than upon the terms of equality.

The only thing that saves the world is the little handful of disinterested men that are in it.
All things come to him who waits
The object of love is to serve, not to win
The difference between a strong man and a weak one is that the former does not give up after a defeat.
