The average estimate themselves by what they do, the above average by what they are.

What is life without the radiance of love?

I am better than my reputation

Vast, colossal destiny, which raises man to fame, though it may also grind him to powder!

Let no one despair, even though in the darkest night the last star of hope may disappear.

To be man's tender mate was woman born, and in obeying nature she best serves the purposes of heaven.

Against stupidity, God Himself fights in vain.
