Nothing is made in vain, but the fly came near it.
For my purpose holds to sail beyond the sunset, and the baths of all the western stars, until I die.
Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.
Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement.
Believe, when you are most unhappy, that there is something for you to do in the world. So long as you can sweeten another’s pain, life is not in vain.
