| What we see depends mainly on what we look for. |
| Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us and true progress is to know more, and be more, and to do more. |
| When important decisions have to be taken, the natural anxiety to come to a right decision will often keep you awake. Nothing, however, is more conducive to healthful sleep than plenty of open air. |
