It is the hardest thing in the world to be a good thinker without being a good self examiner.

The face of Truth is not less fair and beautiful for all the counterfeit visors which have been put upon her.

True courage is cool and calm. The bravest of men have the least of a brutal, bullying insolence, and in the very time of danger are found the most serene and free.

The most natural beauty in the world is honesty and moral truth. For all beauty is truth.

It is not wit merely, but temper, which must form the well-bred man. In the same manner it is not a head merely, but a heart and resolution, which must complete the real philosopher.

It is the hardest thing in the world to be a good thinker without being a good self examiner.

As many as are the difficulties which Virtue has to encounter in this world, her force is yet superior.
