If You Want Learning, You Must Work

That Which Grows Fast, Withers As Rapidly. That Which Grows Slow, Endures.

Of All The Advantages Which Come To Any Young Man ... Poverty Is The Greatest.

Why Will You Be Always Sallying Out To Break Lances With Other People's Wind-mills, When Your Own Is Not Capable Of Grinding Corn For The Horse You Ride?

So I Take My Life As I Find It, As A Life Full Of Grand Advantages That Are Linked Indissolubly To My Noblest Happiness And My Everlasting Safety. I Believe That Infinite Love Ordained It, And That, If I Bow Willingly, Tractably, And Gladly To Its Discipline, My Father Will Take Care Of It.

God Give Us Men! A Time Like This Demands. Strong Minds, Great Hearts, True Faith, And Ready Hands; Men Whom The Lust Of Office Does Not Kill; Men Whom The Spoils Of Office Cannot Buy; Men Who Possess Opinions And A Will; Men Who Have Honor; Men Who Will Not Die.
