If You Love Yourself Meanly, Childishly, Timidly,

The Truth That Seems Discouraging Does In Reality Only Transform The Courage Of Those Strong Enough To Accept It; And, In Any Event, A Truth That Disheartens, Because It Is True, Is Still Of Far More Value Than The Most Stimulating Of Falsehoods.

Once At A Potent Leader's Voice I Stayed; Once I Went Back When A Good Monarch Prayed; Mortals, Howe'er We Grieve, Howe'er Deplore, The Flying Shadow Will Return No More.

Happiness Is Rarely Absent; It Is We That Know Not Of Its Presence.

An Obstacle Is Not A Discouragement. It May Become One, But Only With Our Own Consent. So Long As We Refuse To Be Discouraged, We Cannot Be Discouraged.

It Is Death That Is The Guide Of Our Life, And Our Life Has No Goal But Death.
