Ambition never is in a greater hurry than I; it merely keeps pace with circumstances and with my general way of thinking.

True education must correspond to the surrounding circumstances or it is not a healthy growth.

Always Do Your Best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

Thoughts crystallize into habit and habit solidifies into circumstances.

“According as circumstances are favorable, one should modify one’s plans.”

Happiness is a quality of the soul...not a function of one's material circumstances.
