The authors who affect contempt for a name in the world put their names to the books which they invite the world to read.

The spirit is the true self.

It is not only arrogant, but it is profligate, for a man to disregard the world's opinion of himself.

This is a proof of a well-trained mind, to rejoice in what is good and to grieve at the opposite.

The remembrance of past misery is sweet.

Every man should bear his own grievances rather than detract from the comforts of another.

No one has lived a short life who has performed its duties with unblemished character.
