Aesop

Affairs are easier of entrance than of exit; and it is but common prudence to see our way out before we venture in.

Don't let your special character and values, the secret that you know and no one else does, the truth - don't let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency.

Every truth has two sides; it is as well to look at both, before we commit ourselves to either.

It is in vain to expect our prayers to be heard, if we do not strive as well as pray.

Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth.

Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.

Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.

The level of our success is limited only by our imagination and no act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted.
