Never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company.

A ship in harbor is safe. But that’s now what ships are built for.
