The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. Opportunities! Every life is full of them. Every lesson in school or college is an opportunity.

Every proof...
Napoleon declared, “Victory belongs to the most persevering.”Upon careful study we find perseverance depends upon three things – purpose,will, and enthusiasm. He who has a purpose is always concentrating his forces.By the will, the hope and the plan are prevented from evaporating into dreams.Enthusiasm keeps the interest up, and makes the obstacles seem small. Life is ...

We are met on a great battlefield of that war.We have come to dedicate...
The love of beauty is an essential part of all healthy human nature. It is a moral quality.The absence of it is not an assured ground of condemnation, but the presence of it is an invariable sign of goodness of heart. In proportion to the degree in which it is felt will probably be the degree in which nobleness and beauty of character will be attained. Natural beauty is an a...

He wants to hold, ba...
To son, Cecil, Just a quick note preface before I start in earnest. When I wrote this you were 8, still a little boy. In 2002, I was called to active duty in the Marine Corps in the War on Terrorism. On the 11th of September 2001 when America was attacked, I knew that I would eventually have to go and I was filled with a deep senseof sadness. That night as you and Keiko were...
However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not as bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The faultfinder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the al...
It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions. Many ofthe leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career. They were introduced to the broom, and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. I notice we have janitors and janitres...

I wander’d lonely as a cloud That floats on high o’er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host , of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the Milky way, They stretch’d in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing th...
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life:the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither,in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair. I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstas...
I am not here as a public offcial, but as a citizen of a troubled world who finds hope in a growing consensus that the generally accepted goals of society are peace,freedom, human rights, environmental quality, the alleviation of suffering, and the rule of law.

My heart's in the highlands, my heart is not here; My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer; Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe My heart's in the highlands wherever i go. Farewell to the highlands, farewell to the north! The birthplace of valour, the country of worth; Wherever i wander, wherever I rove, The hills of the highlands for ever I love....
I feel that this award was not made to me as a man, but to my work，a life’s work in the agony and sweat of the human spirit, not for glory and least of all for profit,but to create out of the materials of the human spirit something which did not exist before.So this award is only mine in trust. It will not be diffcult to find a dedication for the money part of it commensura...

There are quite a few questions that are supposed never to be asked about. It is impolite or rude even to mention them in a conversation. These topics include one’s age, income, marriage, religious belief and political position as well as any other fields of privacy. In order to understand the American or western idea of a personal concept of privacy, one may think of thecon...
