We have not an hour of life in which our pleasures relish not some pain, our sours, some sweetness.

To doubt is worse than to have lost; And to despair is but to antedate those miseries that must fall on us.

A willing mind makes a hard journey easy.

Malice scorned, puts out itself; but argued, give a kind of credit to a false accusation.

True dignity is never gained by place, and never lost when honors are withdrawn.

Be wise; soar not too high to fall; but stoop to rise.

Not art and science only, but patience will be required for the work.

In my opinion, life is more important than show business.

Doctors cure the more serious diseases with harsh remedies. Curtius Medici graviores morbos asperis remediis curant

The final event to himself has been, that as he rose like a rocket, he fell like the stick.
