Let reason govern desire.
No phase of life, whether public or private, can be free from duty.
Of all the rewards of virtue, . . . the most splendid is fame, for it is fame alone that can offer us the memory of posterity.
Fear is not a lasting teacher of duty.
Inability to tell good from evil is the greatest worry of man's life.
We should not be so taken up in the search for truth, as to neglect the needful duties of active life; for it is only action that gives a true value and commendation to virtue.
