"I can tell you, honest friend, what to believe: believe life; it teaches better that book or orator." — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The man who occupies the first place seldom plays the principal part.

We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.

He who has a task to perform must know how to take sides, or he is quite unworthy of it.

If a man or woman is born ten years sooner or later, their whole aspect and performance shall be different.
