Popularity is neither fame nor greatness.
It is well there is no one without fault; for he would not have a friend in the world. He would seem to belong to s different species.
One truth discovered, one pang of regret at not being able to express it, is better than all the fluency and flippancy in the world.
Reflection brakes men cowards. There is no object that can be put in competition with life, unless it is viewed through the medium of passion, and we are hurried away by the impulse of the moment.
