The glow of inspiration warms us; it is a holy rapture.
It is not easy to bear prosperity unruffled.
I see and praise what is better, but follow what is worse.
Novelty in all things is charming.
Yield to him who opposes you; by yielding you conquer.
It is hope which makes the shipwrecked sailor strike out with his arms in the midst of the sea, though no land is in sight.
