“Difficulty is the element, and resistance the true work of a man”

“You should trust any man in his own art provided he is skilled in it.”

“It is better to plan less and do more”

“Do anything rather than give yourself to reverie”

“It is a greater work to educate a child, in the true and larger sense of the word, than to rule a state”

“Whatever I engage in, I must push inordinately”
