Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity and truth accomplishes no victories without it

At court one becomes a sort of human ant eater, and learns to catch one's prey by one's tongue.

All doubt is cowardice - all trust is brave.

Kindness like light speaks in the air it gilds.

The affections are immortal! They are the sympathies which unite the ceaseless generations.

But never yet the dog our country fed, Betrayed the kindness or forgot the bread.

Strive, while improving your one talent, to enrich your whole capital as a man. It is in this way that you escape from the wretched narrow-mindedness which is the characteristic of every one who cultivates his specialty alone.
