Each person’s life shall be judged by the power that individual has to make life better for others - that is all life is.
Intelligent people solve problems; geniuses prevent them.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
The wickedness of the soul is ignorance; the virtue of the soul is knowledge.
It is easier for a king to have a lie believed than a beggar
to spread the truth.
Live so well that Death trembles to take you!
Live patiently in the world; know that those who hate you are more numerous than those who love you.
Continuing cognizance of what is needed to make worthwhile change... and acting on it, will bring advancements for others and, consequently, the initiator of the change.
It must be considered that there is nothing more difficult to carry out, or more doubtful of success, or dangerous to handle, than to initiate a new order of things. For the reformer has enemies....and only lukewarm defenders.
