"Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body."

"The best ideas are common property"

"The final hour when we cease to exist does not itself bring death; it merely of itself completes the death-process. We reach death at that moment, but we have been a long time on the way."

"Life is like a play: it's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters."

"Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity."
