If you neglect your work, you will dislike it; if you do it well, you will enjoy it
Vice is but a nurse of agonies.
Weigh not so much what men assert, as what they prove. Truth is simple and naked, and needs not invention to apparel her comeliness.
True bravery is quiet, undemonstrative.
It is the nature of the strong heart, that like the palm tree it strives ever upwards when it is most burdened.
Unlawful desires are punished after the effect of enjoying; but impossible desires are punished in the desire itself.
