Each particle of matter is an immensity, each leaf a world, each insect an inexplicable compendium.

You may depend upon it that he is a good man whose intimate friends are all good, and whose enemies are decidedly bad.

The craftiest trickery are too short and ragged a cloak to cover a bad heart.

What knowledge is there of which man is capable that is not founded on the exterior,--the relation that exists between visible and invisible, the perceptible and the imperceptible?

You can depend on no man, on no friend, but him who can depend on himself.

Trust him not with your secrets, who, when left alone in your room, turns over your papers.

Him, who incessantly laughs in the street, you may commonly hear grumbling in his closet.

Be certain that he who has betrayed thee once will betray thee again.

Sensibility is the power of woman.

It's not all that important that you be able to originate brilliant ideas... The more important talent is to be able to recognize good ideas from other people.

I used to think God wouldn’t talk to me, but now I know I’m just selective with what I choose to hear.

Success is the result of clear goal, unshakable confidence, proper planning, enthusiastic ACTION and consistent persistence.

In case of emergency, do whatever your best friends tell you to do!
