The temple of fame stands upon the grave: the flame that burns upon its altars is kindled from the ashes of great men.
Envy is littleness of soul.
Death is the greatest evil, because it cuts off hope.
Diffidence and awkwardness are antidotes to love.
We are not hypocrites in our sleep.
We prefer ourselves to others, only because we a have more intimate consciousness and confirmed opinion of our own claims and merits than of any other person's.
