we know nothing of tomorrow, our business is to be good and happy today - Sydney Smith

Una grande quantità di talento è persa per il mondo per la mancanza di un po' di coraggio.

When I hear any man talk of an unalterable law, the only effect it produces upon me is to convince me that he is an unalterable fool.

A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage. Every day sends to their graves obscure men whose timidity prevented them from making a first effort.
