介绍:
True Nobility
In a calm sea every man is a pilot
But all sunshine without shade all pleasure without pain is not life at all
Take the lot of the happiest
-it is a tangled yarn
Bereavements and blessings one following another
make us sad and blessed by turns
Even death itself makes life more loving
Men come closest to their true selves in the #sober# moments of life
under the shadows of sorrow and loss
In the affairs of life or of business
it is not intellect that tells so much as character
not brains so much as heart
not genius so much as self-control patience and discipline
regulated by judgment
I have always believed
that the man who has begun to live more seriously within
begins to live more simply without
In an age of extravagance and waste
I wish I could show to the world
how few the real wants of humanity are
To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance
There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man
The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.
