“Leave off asking what tomorrow will bring, andwhatever days fortune will give, count themas profit.”

“He will through life be master of himself and a happy man who from day to day can have said, "I have lived: tomorrow the Father may fill the sky with black clouds or with cloudless sunshine.”

“Fortune makes a fool of those she favors too much.”

“Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts”

“A shoe that is too large is apt to trip one, and when too small, to pinch the feet. So it is with those whose fortune does not suit them.”

“Happy the man, and happy he alone,he who can call today his own:he who, secure within, can say,Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.Be fair or foul, or rain or shinethe joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine.Not Heaven itself, upon the past has power,but what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.”

“Whatever advice you give, be brief.”
