If a hermit lives in a state of ecstasy, his lack of comfort becomes the height of comfort. He must relinquish it. Let the fear of a danger be a spur to prevent it he that fears not, gives advantage to the danger.
Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
Teachers open the door but you must walk through it yourself.
It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done.You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.It is right to be contented with what we have, but never with what we are.
Mishaps are like knives, that either serve us or cut us, as we grasp them by the blade or by the handle.Those to whom we say farewell, are welcomed by others.
