As the soil, however rich it may be, cannot be productive without cultivation, so the mind without culture can never produce good fruit
What others think of us would be of little moment did it not, when known, so deeply tinge what we think of ourselves.
So live with an inferior as you would wish a superior to live with you.
You talk one way, you live another.
Fate leads the willing, and drags along the reluctant.
As the world leads we follow.
