Calmness is always godlike.
The moment we indulge our affections, the earth is metamorphosed.
A hero is a man who is afraid to run away.
All nobility in its beginnings was somebody's natural superiority.
Yet these uneasy pleasures and fine pains are for curiosity, and not for life.
And truly it demands something godlike in him who cast off the common motives of humanity and ventured to trust himself for a taskmaster.
