What else is nature but God?
No one can be despised by another until he has learned to despise himself.
No one can long hide behind a mask; the pretense soon lapses into the true character.
The man who does something under orders is not unhappy; he is unhappy who does something against his will.
He is not guilty who is not guilty of his own free will.
It is another's fault if he be ungrateful, but it is mine if I do not give. To find one thankful man, I will oblige a great many that are not so.
