Everyone is a millionaire where promises are concerned.
Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.
Sleep, rest of nature, O sleep, most gentle of the divinities, peace of the soul, thou at whose presence care disappears, who soothest hearts wearied with daily employments, and makest them strong again for labour!
Either do not attempt at all or go through with it.
Habits change into character.
The glow of inspiration warms us; it is a holy rapture.
The spirited horse, which will try to win the race of its own accord, will run ever faster if encouraged.
He who has lived in obscurity has lived well -Bene qui latuit bene vixit
