By gold all good faith has been banished; by gold our rights are
abused; the law itself is influenced by gold, and soon there will
be an end of every modest restraint.
[Lat., Auro pulsa fides. auro venalia jura,
Aurum lex sequitur, mox sine lege pudor.]

If you want your dreams to come true, don't over sleep.

When you give yourself, you receive more than you give.

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breath, and have faith that everything will work out for the best.

Forget mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it.

If there is something to pardon in everything, there is also something to condemn.

Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday.

No one in the world can take the place of your mother. Right or wrong, from her viewpoint you are always right. She may scold you for little things, but never for the big ones.

Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.
