Sympathy is the first condition of criticism.
Every life is a profession of faith, and exercises an inevitable and silent influence.
True humility is contentment.
The man who has no inner-life is a slave to his surroundings.
To marry unequally is to suffer equally.
Everything you need for better future and success has already been written. And guess what? All you have to do is go to the library.
Destiny has two ways of crushing us - by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them.
