[00:11.06]In a calm sea every man is a pilot.
[00:15.29]But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all.
[00:22.64]Take the lot of the happiest - it is a tangled yarn. Bereavements and blessings,
[00:29.55]one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns.
[00:35.33]Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life,
[00:45.53]under the shadows of sorrow and loss.
[00:49.06]In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character,
[00:57.22]not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.
[01:08.78]I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without.
[01:18.06]In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are.
[01:29.39]To regret one’s errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance.
[01:36.15]There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.
