Performance

You should trust any man in his own art provided he is skilled in it.

In science, we must be interested in things, not in persons

Knowledge is like a baobab tree - one person's arms are not enough to encompass it

If I’d listened to my consumers, I’d have given them a faster horse

The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed, is more important than any other one thing

A mighty flame evolves from a tiny spark

One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man

Passion, though a bad regulator, is a powerful spring

Experience is the teacher of all things

The glory of ancestors sheds a light around posterity; it allows neither their good nor bad qualities to remain in obscurity

It is not possible to fight beyond your strength even if you strive

We can do no great things, only small things with great love

It does not matter how long you live, but how well you do it.

All experience is an arch to build upon

We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give

That government is best which governs least

I have lived long enough both in years and in accomplishments.

Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything

Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well
