An invincible determination can accomplish almost anything and in this lies the great distinction between great men and little men..

Some have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away..

The noblest revenge is to forgive.

Few are fit to be entrusted with themselves..

We never know the worth of water till the well is dry..

It is said that the darkest hour of the night comes just before the dawn..

He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven..

All doors open to courtesy..

He's my friend that speaks well of me behind my back..

A good garden may have some weeds..

The more wit the less courage..

Good is not good, where better is expected.

If you command wisely, you'll be obeyed cheerfully..

All things are difficult before they are easy..

A stumble may prevent a fall..

Prayer: the key of the day and the lock of the night..

Abused patience turns to fury..

Health is not valued till sickness comes..

We are born crying, live complaining, and die disappointed..

If you would have a good wife, marry one who has been a good daughter..

If you have one true friend you have more than your share..
