If Passion Sometimes Counsels Greater Boldness Than

Consciousness Of Our Strength Increases It.

A Man Can Hardly Be Said To Have Made A Fortune If He Does Not Know How To Enjoy It.

It Is In Our Own Mind And Not In Exterior Objects That We Perceive Most Things; Fools Know Scarcely Anything Because They Are Empty, And Their Heart Is Narrow; But Great Souls Find In Themselves A Number Of Exterior Things; They Have No Need To Read Or Travel Or To Listen Or To Work To Discover The Highest Truths; They Have Only To Delve Into Themselves And Search, If We May Say So, Their Own Thoughts.

And Where, On Earth, Dwell Hope And Truth? In Childhood's Uncorrupted Heart; Alas! Too Soon To Guileless Youth The World Doth Its Dark Code Impart!

Excessive Distrust Is Not Less Hurtfjul Than Its Opposite. Most Men Become Useless To Him Who Is Unwilling To Risk Being Deceived.
