The acquisition of knowledge is always of use to the intellect, because it may thus drive out useless things and retain the good. For nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first known.
It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.
I have wasted my hours.
Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it.
Where there is shouting, there is no true knowledge.
Just as courage is the danger of life, so is fear its safeguard.
