Believe. No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted island, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit.
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.
I never fight except against difficulties.
What we have once enjoyed deeply we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
We can do anything we want to do if we stick to it long enough.
Doubts and mistrust are the mere panic of timid imagination which the steadfast heart will conquer and the large mind transcend.
To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.
The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.
Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy...
Literature is my Utopia
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the face.
People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.
Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invicible host against difficulties.
Security is mostly superstition. It does not exist in nature.
We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
You will find a joy in overcoming obstacles.
What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
