Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over.
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
I haven’t heard one thing you have said;
this whole time you were talking,
I was too busy picturing you dead.
