The popular breeze - Aura popularis

What is more agreeable than one's home?

Do not hold the delusion that your advancement is accomplished by crushing others.

I will adhere to the counsels of good men, although misfortune and death should be the consequence.

In fact the whole passion ordinarily termed love (and heaven help me if I can think of any other term to apply to it) is of such exceeding triviality that I see nothing that I think comparable with it.

It is not easy to distinguish between true and false affection, unless there occur one of those crises in which, as gold is tried by fire, so a faithful friendship may be tested by danger.

You will be as much value to others as you have been to yourself.
