 There is nothing that fear and hope does not permit men to do. |
| Vice stirs up war, virtue fights. |
| The greatest achievement of the human spirit is to live up to one's opportunities and make the most of one's resources. |
| The law cannot equalize mankind in spite of nature. |
| Men sometimes feel injured by praise because it assigns a limit to their merit; few people are modest enough not to take offense that one appreciates them. |
| Our failings sometimes bind us to one another as closely as could virtue itself. |
| Great thoughts always come from the heart. |
