“ We should expect the best and the worst from mankind as from the weather. ”
To achieve great things we must live as though we were never going to die.
~ Vauvenargues
There are those who are so scrupulously afraid of doing wrong that they seldom venture to do anything.
If anyone accuses me of contradicting myself I reply: Because I have been wrong once or oftener I do not aspire to be always wrong.
Prosperity makes few friends.
