This is the curse of an evil deed, that it incites and must bring forth more evil.

Wise to resolve, patient to perform.

The great happiness of life, I find, after all, to consist in the regular discharge of some mechanical duty.

It is not the mere station of life that stamps the value on us, but the manner in which we act our part.

The history of the world is the world's court of justice.

The worst of me is known, and I can say that I am better than the reputation I bear.

The will of man is his happiness.
