Thought

'The sandal tree as if to prove how sweet to conquer hate by love perfumes the axe that lays it low'
'I never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident;
they come by work.'
'You are as young as your faith, as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear and as old as your despair.'
At times, it is better to keep your mouth shut and let people wonder if you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.'
'A quiet mind produces a more brilliant intellect.'
'Everything can be sacrified for truth, but truth cannont be sacrified for anything.'
'We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.'
'Mere luck or fate, without manly endeavour, cannot help us even as a single wheel cannot move a chariot.'
'The position which women hold in a country is one of the best tests of the progress it has made in civilisation.'
'Perfection is the goal of life of Earth.'
'Everybody has big ideas but only the man who masters the details can translate a big idea into a reality.'
'Doing easily what others find difficult is talent; Doing what is impossible for talent is genius.'
'He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over oneself is all powerful.'
'Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control: these three alone lead life to a sovereign power.'
'Don't walk ahead of me I may not follow; don't walk behind me I may not lead; just walk beside me and be my friend.'
