The more violent the storm the sooner it is over.

Let us fight the battle-retreat from the things that attract us and rouse ourselves to meet the things that actually attack us.

The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.

To strive with an equal is dangerous; with a superior, mad; with an inferior, degrading.

The worse a person is the less he feels it.

There are more people abusive to others than lie open to abuse themselves; but the humor goes round, and he that laughs at me today will have somebody to laugh at him tomorrow.

True love hates and will not bear delay.
