Fine conduct is always spontaneous.
While we teach, we learn.
Greatness stands upon a precipice, and if prosperity carries a man never so little beyond his poise, it overbears and dashes him to pieces.
Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.
Why will no man confess his faults? Because he continues to indulge in them; a man cannot tell his dream till he wakes.
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness. The things that are essential are acquired with little bother; it is the luxuries that call for toil and effort. To want simply what is enough nowadays suggests to people primitiveness and squalor.
