Be Careful To Leave Your Sons Well

Know You Not That A Good Man Does Nothing For Appearance Sake, But For The Sake Of Having Done Right?

Fight Against Yourself, Recover Yourself To Decency, To Modesty, To Freedom. And, In The First Place, Condemn Your Actions; But When You Have Condemned Them, Do Not Despair Of Yourself. For Both Ruin And Recovery Are From Within.

If You Want To Improve, Be Content To Be Thought Foolish And Stupid.

Envy Is The Antagonist Of The Fortunate.

The Two Powers Which In My Opinion Constitute A Wise Man Are Those Of Bearing And Forbearing.
