It is not the strength, but the duration, of great sentiments that makes great men.
For one swallow does not make a spring, nor does one sunny day; and so too one day or a short time does not make a man blessed and happy.
Never suffer an exception to occur till the new habit is securely rooted in your life.
Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.
Do not fear growing slowly; fear only standing still.
A single swallow does not make a spring, nor does one sunny day make a season of flowers.
Drop by drop, the great earthen jar is filled to overflowing.
