The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.
It's true Heaven forbids some pleasures, but a compromise can usually be found.
There is no protection against slander.
All extremes does perfect reason flee, And wishes to be wise quite soberly.
No reason makes it right To shun accepted ways from stubborn spite; And we may better join the foolish crowd Than cling to wisdom, lonely though unbowed.
People are all alike in their promises. It is only in their deeds that they differ.
