Each day look into your conscience and amend your faults; if you fail in this duty you will be untrue to the Knowledge and Reason that are within you. Keep a watchful eye over yourself as if you were your own enemy; for you cannot learn to govern yourself, unless you first learn to govern your own passions and obey the dictates of your conscience.

The only time a juggler / Appeals to me / Is when I see him / Miss the ball.

All that spirits desire, spirits attain.

Poverty hides itself in thought before it surrenders to purses.

For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and Passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.

Love is not without its flaws. The stronger the love, the more it tests you. Compassion and empathy will make true love persist.

The saint and the sinner are twin brothers...one was born but the moment before the other.
