Life imitates art far more that art imitates life.

To beprepared is half the victory.

A danger forseen is half avoided.

Life is progress from want to want, not from enjoyment to enjoyment.

The good rain like a bad preacher, does not know when to leave off.

It isgreed to do all the talking but not to want to listen at all.

Write injuries in dust, benefits in marble.

Weagree completely on everything, including the fact we don't see eye to eye.

One person with a belief is a social power equal to nintynine who have only interest.
