“There is no real excellence in all of this world which can be separated from right living.”

“Be a life long or short, its completeness depends on what it was lived for.”

“Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it.”

“The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows whither he is going.”

“Wisdom is knowing what to do next; Skill is knowing how to do it, and Virtue is doing it.”

“No one is really miserable who has not tried to cheapen life.”

“When a dog barks at the moon, then it is religion; but when he barks at strangers, it is patriotism!”
