A picture is a poem without words.
Don't think, just do.
Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents, which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant.
The pen is the tongue of the mind.
Pale Death beats equally at the poor man's gate and at the palaces of kings.
Cease to inquire what the future has in store, and take as a gift whatever the day brings forth.
Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans. It is lovely to be silly at the right moment.
A word once uttered can never be recalled.
Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.
You may drive out nature with a pitchfork, yet she'll be constantly running back.
In labouring to be concise, I become obscure.
It is courage, courage, courage, that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor. Live bravely and present a brave front to adversity.
Nothing's beautiful from every point of view.
Begin, be bold and venture to be wise.
Remember when life's path is steep to keep your mind even.
Pale death, with impartial step, knocks at the hut of the poor and the towers of kings.
Seize the day, and put the least possible trust in tomorrow.
It is your concern when your neighbor's wall is on fire.
Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.
Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled.
