Doubt whom you will, but never yourself.
Our first and last love is self-love.
We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them.
Music is the fourth great material want, first food, then clothes, then shelter, then music.
No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities.
Tears are nature's lotion for the eyes. The eyes see better for being washed by them.
False friends are like our shadow, keeping close to us while we walk in the sunshine, but leaving us the instant we cross into the shade.
The method of the enterprising is to plan with audacity and execute with vigor.
There is great beauty in going through life without anxiety or fear. Half our fears are baseless, and the other half discreditable.
When all else is lost, the future still remains.
Courage enlarges, cowardice diminishes resources. In desperate straits the fears of the timid aggravate the dangers that imperil the brave.
Tearless grief bleeds inwardly.
A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.
