Hatred And Dishonesty Generally Arises From Fear

Superficial Knowledge ... Is Hurtful To Those Who Possess True Genius; For It Necessarily Draws Them Away From Their Main Object, Wastes Their Industry Over Details And Subjects Foreign To Their Needs And Natural Talent, And Lastly Does Not Serve, As They Flatter Themselves, To Prove The Breadth Of Their Mind. In All Ages There Have Been Men Of Very Moderate Intelligence Who Knew Much, And So On The Contrary, Men Of The Highest Intelligence Who Knew Very Little. Ignorance Is Not Lack Of Intelligence, Nor Knowledge A Proof Of Genius.

Vice Foments War; It Is Virtue Which Actually Fights. If There Were No Virtue, We Would Live In Peace Forever.

Learn To Overrule Minor Interest In Favor Of Great Ones, And Generously To Do All The Good The Heart Prompts; A Man Is Never Injured By Acting Virtuously.

Clearness Is The Ornament Of Deep Thought.

Nothing Endures Except Truth.
