Man will be what he will have planned to be.
Want of forbearance in small matters confounds great plans.
Man is, before all else, something which propels itself towards a future and is aware that it is doing so.

It is desire that creates the desirable, it is the project that poses the end.
Young people are fitter to invent than to judge, fitter for execution than for counsel, and more fit for new projects than for settled business.
