We are easily duped by those we love.
The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.
People of quality know everything without ever having learned anything.
The defects of human nature afford us opportunities of exercising our philosophy, the best employment of our virtues. If all men were righteous, all hearts true and frank and loyal, what use would our virtues be?
Ah, there are no longer any children!
The road is a long one from the projection of a thing to its accomplishment.
