You never know what inconsistency they are going to catch you in next. Ones best success comes after their greatest disappointments. Speak when you're angry and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret. The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one often comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't. The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom. A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors. There was never a person who did anything worth doing that did not receive more than he gave. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has. |
