I have learned more from my mistakes than from my successes.
Sir Humphrey Davy
The wealth and prosperity of the country are only the comeliness of the body, the fullness of the flesh and fat; but the spirit is independent of them; it requires only muscle, bone and nerve for the true exercise of its functions. We cannot lose our liberty, because we cannot cease to think.
Sir Humphrey Davy
It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
