"Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth."
"We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success."
"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."
"Every blade in the field - Every leaf in the forest - lays down its life in its season as beautifully as it was taken up."
