Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.

Persevere and get it done.

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.

Victory belongs to the most persevering.

Perseverance, secret of all triumphs.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.

A loving heart is the truest wisdom.

Wisely, and slow. They stumble that run fast.

It is better to travel well than to arrive.

I don’t like that man. I must get to know him better.

Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.

Not being able to govern events, I govern myself.

The most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness.
