Night is certainly more novel and less profane than day. - Henry David Thoreau

"Men are born to succeed, not to fail."

"A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend."

"Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. what a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate."

"Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it."

"The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them."
