It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.

Belief

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

Chance

The pseudonym for God when He did not want to sign.

Education

Nine tenths of education is encouragement.

Future

That man is prudent who neither hopes nor fears anything from the uncertain events of the future.

Human Nature

It is human nature to think wisely and act foolishly.

Innocence

It is well for the heart to be naive and the mind not to be.

Money

It is only the poor who pay cash, and that not from virtue, but because they are refused credit.

Poverty and The Poor

I thank fate for having made me born poor. Poverty taught me the true value of the gifts useful to life.

Words

The finest words in the world are only vain sounds if you cannot understand them.
