The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.

Some men see things as they are and ask, 'why?' I dream things that never were and ask, 'why not?'"NB: This quote is a paraphrase from a similar quote by G. B. Shaw.

There is as much difference between the counsel that a friend giveth, and that a man giveth himself, as there is between the counsel of a friend and of a flatterer. For there is no such flatterer as is a man's self.

A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.

Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.

A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.
