An illusion which makes me happy is worth a verity which drags me to the ground.
Stupidity has its sublime as well as genius, and he who carries that quality to absurdity has reached it; which is always a source of amusement to sensible people.
The compulsion of fate is bitter.
To do nothing by halves is the way of noble spirits.
Too oft is transient pleasure the source of long woes.
The cleverest of all the devils is Opportunity.
