“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed, is more important than any other one thing”

“Poor and content is rich, and rich enough.”

“Wisdom outweighs any wealth”

“Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.”

“Things only have the value that we give them”

“The value of life ist not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them; a man may live long yet very little”
