The great soul surrenders itself to fate.
What must be shall be; and that which is a necessity to him that struggles, is little more than choice to him that is willing.
Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
Fire is the test of gold, adversity of strong men.
The good things that belong to prosperity are to be wished, but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.
For many men, the acquisition of wealth does not end their troubles, it only changes them.
No man will swim ashore and take his baggage with him.
Fortune reveres the brave, and overwhelms the cowardly.
Let us be brave in the face of adversity.
Knowledge of sin is the beginning of salvation.
There is nothing in the world so much admired as a man who knows how to bear unhappiness with courage.
Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.
Courage leads starward, fear toward death.
Courage is a scorner of things which inspire fear.
What must be, shall be; and that which is a necessity to him that struggles is little more than choice to him that is willing.
If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living.
Where fear is, happiness is not.
We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.
Malice drinks one-half of its own poison.
