A friend is, as it were, a second self.

We all have ability. The difference is how we use it.

You have to have confidence in your vision or else no one else will trust in it.

We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

Diligence is the mother of good fortune.

Your path is at your feet whether you realize it or not.

To see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.

We all have different gifts, so we all have different ways of saying to the world who we are.

No wise man ever wished to be younger.

We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.

Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light.

The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn.
