Our friends are generally ready to do everything for us, except the very thing we wish them to do.
Liberty is the only true riches: of all the rest we are at once the masters and the slaves.
Life is a continued struggle to be what we are not, and to do what we cannot.
What I mean by living to one's self is living in the world, as in it, not of it.
Power is pleasure; and pleasure sweetens pain.
The more we do, the more we can do.
