Every day is lost in which we do not learn something useful. Man has no nobler or more valuable possession than time.

On matters of style$$$ swim with the current$$$ on matters of principle$$$ stand like a rock.

Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.

The world is changed not by the self-regarding$$$ but by men and women prepared to make fools of themselves.

Feeling guilty's no reason for staying$$$ or going.

A father may turn his back on his child$$$ brothers and sisters may become inveterate enemies$$$ husbands may desert their wives$$$ wives their husbands. But a mother's love endures through all.

There is a certain relief in change$$$ even though it be from bad to worse; as I have found in traveling in a stage coach$$$ that it is often a comfort to shift one's position and be bruised in a new place.

If we live long enough$$$ we become caricatures of ourselves.

He who goes about to reform the world must begin with himself$$$ or he loses his labor.

For every traveller who has any taste of his own$$$ the only useful guidebook will be the one which he himself has written.
