Know how sublime a thing it is to suffer and be strong.

We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.

Men should soon make up their minds to be forgotten, and look about them, or within them, for some higher motive in what they do than the approbation of men, which is fame, namely, their duty; that they should be constantly and quietly at work, each in his sphere, regardless of effects, and leaving their fame to take care of itself.

Every man has a paradise around him till he sins, and the angel of an accusing conscience drives him from his Eden.
