**ask why we fight, is to ask why the leaves fall. **

Refrain from excess.

**You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. **

Friendship is the highest form of love.

There is no such thing as a great talent without great will - power.——Balzac

The value of life lies not length of days, but in the use of we make of them. 

The true test of civilization is, not the census, nor the size of cities, nor the crops，no, but the kind of man the country turns out

A little body often harbors a great soul. 

Beware beginnings.
