"A bar of iron costs $5, made into horseshoes its worth is $12, made into needles its worth is $3500, made into balance springs for watches, its worth is $300,000. Your own value is determined also by what you are able to make of yourself."

Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without one.

Even monkeys fall from trees.

If you believe in yourself and a thousand others do not, then you are a thousand and one.

Know yourself and you will win all battles.

No one can give you wiser advice than yourself.

The great man is he who does not lose his child's heart.
