Finish each day and be done with it.  You have done what you could.  Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can.  Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

Do not go where the path may lead.  Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

I ask constantly of all men whether life may not be poetic as well as stupid?

In silence we must warp much of our life, because it is too fine for speech, because also we cannot explain it to others, and because somewhat we cannot yet understand.

Don't waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours or ages that follow it.

Your actions speak so loud, I can't hear what you say.

Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events.

He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare,

A man finds room in the few square inches of the face for the traits of all his ancestors; for the expression of all his history, and his wants.

Every man is a hero and an oracle to somebody, and to that person whatever he says has an enhanced value.
