Those who restrain their desires, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained.
The weak in courage is strong in cunning.
Listen to the fool's reproach! It is a kingly title!
To Mercy, Pity, Peace and Love All pray in their distress, And to these virtues of delight Return their thankfulness.
Does a firm persuasion that a thing is so, make it so?
Nothing is real beyond imaginative patterns men make of reality.
