Surely, to think your own the only wisdom, and yours the only word, the only will, betrays a shallow spirit, an empty heart.
To be doing good deeds is man's most glorious task.
Strike at a great man, and you will not miss.
Now I see that going out into the testing ground of men it is the tongue and not the deed that wins the day.
I have no desire to suffer twice, in reality and then in retrospect.
Remember, nothing succeeds without toil.
