Now we are not merely to stick knowledge on to the soul: we must incorporate it into her; the soul should not be sprinkled with knowledge but steeped in it.

Self-denial is the best riches.

Everything that exceeds the bounds of moderation has an unstable foundation.

Necessity is stronger than duty.

There is no power greater than true affection.

As the world leads we follow.

Those griefs burn most which gall in secret.
