Nature hath given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.
Some of their faults men readily admit, but others not so readily.
The essence of good and evil is a certain disposition of the will.
If one oversteps the bounds of moderation, the greatest pleasures cease to please.
Nothing truly stops you. Nothing truly holds you back. For your own will is always within your control.
No matter what happens, it is within my power to turn it to my advantage.
