We may seem great in an employment below our worth, but we very often look little in one that is too big for us.

We pardon as long as we love.

We have more ability than will power, and it is often an excuse to ourselves that we imagine that things are impossible.

Imagination could never invent the number of different contradictions that exist innately in each person's heart.

The vivacity that augments with years is not far from folly.

The evil that we do does not attract to us so much persecution and hatred as our good qualities.

Those who occupy their minds with small matters, generally become incapable of greatness.
