A true knight is fuller of bravery in the midst, than in the beginning of danger.
Either I will find a way, or I will make one.
The ingredients of health and long life, are great temperance, open air, easy labor, and little care.
The only disadvantage of an honest heart is credulity.
It is the nature of the strong heart, that like the palm tree it strives ever upwards when it is most burdened.
