Every spoken word arouses our self-will.

The passions are like those demons with which Afrasahiab sailed down the Orus. Our only safety consists in keeping them asleep. If they we are lost.

The day is committed to error and floundering; success and achievement are matters of long range.

He who is and remains true to himself and to others has the most attractive quality of the greatest talent.

Wherever a man may happen to turn, whatever a man may undertake, he will always end up by returning to that path which nature has marked out for him.
