"Be always displeased at what thou art,..." - Quote by Saint Augustine

“The people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered.”

“Love can be angry... with a kind of anger in which there is no gall, like the dove's and not the ravens.”

“Don't let your life give evidence against your tongue. Sing with your voices... sing also with your conduct.”

“Our work can never be better than we are ourselves.”

“To attract attractive people, you must be attractive. To attract powerful people, you must be powerful. To attract committed people, you must be committed. Instead of going to work on them, you go to work on yourself. If you become, you can attract.”

“Be strong, but not rude; Be kind, but not weak; Be bold, but not bully; Be humble, but not timid; Be prooud, but not arrogant.”

“The health of the eye demands a horizon.”

“If you want something new, you have to stop doing something old”

“In society, in the best institutions of men, it is easy to detect a certain precocity. When we should still be growing children, we are already little men. Give me a culture which imports much muck from the meadows, and deepens the soil,--not that which trusts to heating manures, and improved implements, and modes of culture only!”
