Appearances are often deceiving

From gods come joys; from them, too, all things earthly have their being

“From a small seed, a mighty trunk may grow

The harder the conflict, the greater the triumph.”

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.

It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish

It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God

In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.

Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going

The best way to predict the future is to create it

Change your thoughts and you change your world

The future depends on what you do today.

The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

Believe you can and you’re halfway there

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that count

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself.

Great success often comes from humble beginnings

He who gives his labor for money sells himself and puts himself in the rank of slaves.

Justice, though slow, is sure

And even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.

Learning is ever in the freshness of its youth, even for the old

Honesty is the best policy

To be free is not to have the power to do anything you want; to be free is to be able to make the right choice

Whoever is ungrateful sooner or later will fall

There is no disgrace in honest failure; there is disgrace in fearing to fail

When a match has equal partners, then I fear not

War loves to seek its victims in the young

That which is not required by the circumstances is unnecessary

It is an easy thing for one whose foot is on the outside of calamity to give advice and to rebuke the sufferer.

Every man is like the company he keeps

Justice shines in smoke

By polluting clear water with slime you will never find good drinking water

When strength is yoked with justice, where is a mightier pair than they?

AeschylusThe sleepless pain when a loved one becomes a memory

Destiny waits alike for the free man as well as for him enslaved by another’s might

For this is the mark of a wise and upright man, not to rail against the gods in misfortune.

Wisdom comes alone through suffering.

Think not that thy word and thine alone must be right.

A just cause even from an enemy is a cause not without its worth

Love, unconquerable, Waster of rich men, keeper Of warm lights and all-night vigil And the one word that brings the infinite to the doo

The reward of suffering is experience

Man’s will is his greatest power

We must pronounce him fortunate who has ended his life in fair prosperity

The tyrant is a child of Pride who drinks from his sickening cup recklessness and vanity, until from his high crest headlong he plummets to the dust of hope

The wisest of the wise may err

The one who learns to live with his guilt lives to see another sunrise

By Time all things are made clear

He who goes unenvied shall not be admire

Memory is the mother of all wisdom

God lends a helping hand to the man who tries hard.

Words are the physicians of the mind diseased

In our misfortune lies our strength

For in all adversity of fortune, the worst sort of misery is to have been happy
