"Many great actions are committed in small..." - Quote by Victor Hugo

“The beautiful has but one type, the ugly has a thousand.”

“There are many tongues to talk, and but few heads to think.”

“A house is built of logs and stone, of tiles and posts and piers; a home is built of loving deeds that stand a thousand years.”

“When you chop wood, splinters fly”

“The journey of a thousand milesstarts from beneath your feet.NOTE: Other translations exist, such as:Great trees grow from the smallest shoots;a terraced garden, from a pile of earth,and a journey of a thousand milesbegins by taking the initial step.”

“I could either watch it happen or be a part of it.”

“Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.”

“Life for me ain't been no crystal stair”

“The fascination of what's difficult Has dried the sap out of my veins, and rent Spontaneous joy and natural content Out of my heart.”
