Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything good in the world.
We should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe.
Who has a harder fight than he who is striving to overcome himself.
Of two evils we must always choose the least.
The sword the body wounds, sharp words the mind.
Let bravery be thy choice, but not bravado.
Culture makes all men gentle.
The virtuous man is never a novice in worldly things.
