“「The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.」”

“「Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.」”

“「The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing, in so far as it stands ready against the accidental and the unforeseen.」”

“「He that raises a large family does, indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand a broader mark for sorrow; but then he stands a broader mark for pleasure too.」”
