Always do what you are afraid to do.

• All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.
• Be careful what you set your heart on, for it will surely be yours.
• Can anybody remember when the times were not hard and money not scarce
• It is very hard to be simple enough to be good.
• What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.
• The glory of friendship is not the outstreched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him.
• Every artist was first an amateur.
• Skill to do comes of doing.
• Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.
• A chief event in life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.
