Life is too short to be little. Man is never so manly as when he feels deeply, acts boldly, and expresses himself with frankness and with fervour.

All of us encounter, at least once in our life, some individual who utters words that make us think forever. There are men whose phrases are oracles; who condense in one sentence the secrets of life; who blurt out an aphorism that forms a character or illustrates an existence.

Nurture your mind with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.

Youth is a blunder; Manhood a struggle; Old Age a regret.

Talk to a man about himself, and he is generally captivated.

I have been ever of opinion that revolutions are not to be evaded.
