QUOTES
The
meanest, most contemptible kind of praise is that which first speaks well of a
man, and then qualifies it with a "but".
You
never know till you try to reach them how accessible men are; but you must approach
each man by the right door.
Be
angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger.
Education
is the knowledge of how to use the whole of oneself. Many men use but one or two
faculties out of the score with which they are endowed. A man is educated who
knows how to make a tool of every faculty-how to open it, how to keep it sharp,
and how to apply it to all practical purposes.
Good
nature is worth more than knowledge, more than money, more than honor, to the
persons who possess it.
Gratitude
is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.
Greatness
lies, not in being strong, but in the right using of strength; and strength is
not used rightly when it serves only to carry a man above his fellows for his
own solitary glory. He is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts
by the attraction of his own.
He
is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has.
Our
best successes often come after our greatest disappointments.
The
ability to convert ideas to things is the secret of outward success.
The
art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.
The
difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong
will, and the other from a strong won't.
