He is great who confers the most benefits.

Self trust is the essence of heroism.

And truly it demands something god like in him who has cast off the common motives of humanity, and has ventured to trust himself for a taskmaster. High be his heart, faithful his will, clear his sight, that he may in good earnest be doctrine, society, law, to himself, that a simple purpose may be to him as strong as iron necessity is to others!

For every benefit you receive a tax is levied.

We are always getting ready to live but never living.
