Thomas Jefferson

Mahatma Gandhi

When restraint and courtesy are added to strength, the latter becomes irresistible.
Mahatma Gandhi

Those who create are rare; those who cannot are numerous. Therefore, the latter are stronger.
Coco Chanel

Immanuel Kant

Jane Austen

The latter part of a wise person's life is occupied with curing the follies, prejudices and false opinions they contracted earlier.
Jonathan Swift

Oliver Wendell Holmes
