There never was a great soul that did not have some divine inspiration.
Let war yield to peace, laurels to paeans.
The searching-out and thorough investigation of truth ought to be the primary study of man.

The pursuit, even of the best things, ought to be calm and tranquil.
It is not enough merely possess virtue, as if it were an art; it should be practiced.
