"First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do."

"A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions."

"A person's worth is measured by the worth of what he values."

"Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one."

"If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it."

"Perfection of character is this: to live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretense."

"Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one."

"Whatever anyone does or says, I must be emerald and keep my color."

"If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you're needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person."
