The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.
Do not seek death. Death will find you. But seek the road which makes death a fulfillment.
Fortune is like the market, where, many times, if you can stay a little, the price will fall.
When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part.
If you're afraid to die, you will not be able to live.
Whoever rewards evil for good, evil will not depart from their house.
There is but one freedom, to put oneself right with death. After that everything is possible. I cannot force you to believe in God. Believing in God amounts to coming to terms with death. When you have accepted death, the problem of God will be solved--and not the reverse.
Some say the world will end in fire, some say ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.
Let us endeavor to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.
When he shall die Take him and cut him in little stars And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the garish sun.
At least when you are dead you will know what silence truly sounds like.
Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, It seems to me most strange that men should fear, Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come.
Due to technical difficulties the light at the end of the tunnel will be off until further notice.
A hundred wagon loads of thoughts will not pay a single ounce of debt.
Our national debt, after all, is an internal debt, owed not only by the nation but to the nation. If our children have to pay the interest they will pay that interest to themselves.
Do not accustom yourself to consider debt only as an inconvenience; you will find it a calamity.
If the world will be gulled, let it be gulled.
The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.
If cold December gave you birth, The month of snow and ice and mirth, Place on you hand a Turquoise blue, Success will bless whate'er you do.
Everything starts with yourselfâwith you making up your mind about what you're going to do with your life. I tell kids that it's a cruel world, and that the world will bend them either left or right, and it's up to them to decide which way to bend.
He that always gives way to others will end in having no principles of his own.
The winning team has a dedication. It will have a core of veteran players who set the standards. They will not accept defeat.
What does it take to be a champion? Desire, dedication, determination, concentration and the will to win.
We ought to do our neighbour all the good we can. If you do good, good will be done to you; but if you do evil, the same will be measured back to you again.
The will for the deed.
