I have learned more from my mistakes than from my successes.

The most important of my discoveries have been suggested to me by my failures.

Life is made up, 

not of great sacrifices or duties, 

but of little things, 

in which smiles and kindness, 

and small obligations given habitually, 

are what preserve the heart 

and secure comfort.

Language is not only the vehicle of thought, 

it is a great and efficient instrument in thinking.
