I am above being injured by fortune, though she steals away much, more will remain with me. The blessing I now enjoy transcend fear.
Happy the man who can count his sufferings.
Yield to him who opposes you; by yielding you conquer.
I attempt an arduous task but there is no worth in that which is not a difficult achievement
Novelty in all things is charming.
The glow of inspiration warms us; it is a holy rapture.
