Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of imagination.

Be frank and explicit. That is the right line to take when you wish to conceal your own mind and to confuse the minds of others.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

All great achievements require time.

Let there be spaces in your togetherness.

One new feature or fresh take can change everything.

Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.

Those who know, do. Those that understand, teach.

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

Above all be of single aim; have a legitimate and useful purpose, and devote yourself unreservedly to it.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

Energy may be likened to the bending of a crossbow; decision,to the releasing of a trigger.

For we walk by faith, not by sight

It seems essential, in relationships and all tasks, that we concentrate only on what is most significant and important.

I have had good experience and trial of this world...I know what it is to be a subject, what to be a sovereign, what to have good neighbours, and sometimes meet evil willers. I have found treason in trust, seen great benefits little regarded.

Experience is the only prophecy of wise men.

When playing board-games which involve quizzes etc, you will always know the answers to everyone else's set of questions but never your own.

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

Desire is the very essence of man.

The first thing you'll have to do, is the last thing you wished.

Throw your heart over the fence and the rest will follow.
