Concern should drive us into action and not into a depression. No man is free who cannot control himself.

Strength of mind rests in sobriety; for this keeps your reason unclouded by passion.

Choose always the way that seems the best however rough it may be; custom will soon render it easy and agreeable.

"Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few."

"Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they will."
