One who in a perilous emergency thinks with his legs. Wounds inflicted by a sharp knife, heal more quickly than wounds inflicted by a sharp tongue. If not, let it be left unsaid. I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. Fear not that thy life shall come to an end, but rather fear that it shall never have a beginning.
Life is a lesson in humility.
False friends are like our shadow, keeping close to us when we walk in the sunshine, but leaving us the instant we cross into the shade. The beauty seen is partly in him who sees it. Friendship is, strictly speaking, reciprocal benevolence, which inclines each party to be solicitous for the welfare of the other as for his own. This equality of affection is created and preserved by a similarity of disposition and manners. Manhood, not scholarship, is the first aim of education.
