Time ripens all things; no one is born wise.

Life must be lived as play.

Anybody can dig a hole and plant a tree. But make sure it survives. You have to nurture it, you have to water it, you have to keep at it until it becomes rooted so it can take care or itself. There are so many enemies of trees.

Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.

Live for yourself and you will live in vain;Live for others, and you will live again.

When one has not had a good father, one must create one.

What goes up must come down.

Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.

One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.

All good things which exist are the fruits of originality.

There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.

Hard work, disciplined habits, modesty in living, contentment and cheerfulness.
