Great deeds are usually wrought at great risks.
Halicarnassus, Turkey
Very few things happen at the right time, and the rest do not happen at all. The conscientious historian will correct these defects.
Of all men's miseries the bitterest is this: to know so much and to have control over nothing.
The destiny of man is in his own soul.
It seems to be a law of nature, inflexible and inexorable, that those who will not risk cannot win.
Audacity succeeds as often as it fails; in life it has an even chance.
Fortune favors the brave.
