Faith
If you think you can win, you can win. Faith is necessary to victory.
Knowledge
The seat of knowledge is in the head; of wisdom, in the heart. We are sure to judge wrong, if we do not feel right.
Friendship
Do not keep on with a mockery of friendship after the substance is gone - but part, while you can part friends. Bury the carcass of friendship: it is not worth embalming.
Home
I would like to spend the whole of my life traveling, if I could anywhere borrow another life to spend at home.
Courage
We are very much what others think of us. The reception our observations meet with gives us courage to proceed, or damps our efforts.
Friendship
Few things tend more to alienate friendship than a want of punctuality in our engagements. I have known the breach of a promise to dine or sup to break up more than one intimacy.
