We do not count a man’s years until he has nothing else to count.
We are by nature observers, and thereby learners. That is our permanent state.
We are always getting ready to live but never living.
Use what language you will, you can never say anything but what you are.
Truth is the property of no individual, but is the treasure of all men.
Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great.
To live without duties is obscene.
To finish the moment, to find the journey’s end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom.
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
To be great is to be misunderstood.
Thought is the property of him who can entertain it, and of him who can adequately place it.
Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.
