Quotes

He that is overcautious will accomplish nothing
He who considers too much will perform little
One can advise comfortably from a safe port
What he feels and not what he does honors a man
Youth is too hasty with words
For the world is ruled by interest alone
Stern is the visage of necessity
If you do not dare to die you will never win life
The will of a man is his happiness
Yet tremble at the slow, silent power of time
