The birds are moulting. If only man could moult also -- his mind one a year its errors, his heart once a year its useless passions.

Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit -- and man is his own gardener.

You will become as small as your dominate desire; as great as your dominate aspiration.

In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result.

Whether you be man or woman you will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
