Life is not an easy matter... You cannot live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you a great idea which raises you above personal misery above weakness above all kinds of perfidy and baseness.
The depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral...
A just and reasonable modesty does not only recommend eloquence but sets off...
Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.
