None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
It is not enough to have knowledge; one must apply it. It is not enough to have wishes; one must also accomplish it.
Seize this very minute - What you can do, or dream you can, begin it, Boldness has genius.
To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.
The best fortune that can fall to a man is that which corrects his defects and makes up for his failings.
