Tentative Efforts Lead To Tentative Outcome.

It Is The Nature Of The Wise To Resist Pleasures, But The Foolish To Be A Slave To Them.

We Can't Control The Impressions Others Form About Us, And The Effort To Do So Only Debases Our Character.

Everything Has Two Handles; The One Soft And Manageable, The Other Such As Will Not Endure To Be Touched. If Then Your Brother Do You An Injury, Do Not Take It By The Hot Hard Handle, By Representing To Yourself All The Aggravating Circumstances Of The Fact; But Look Rather On The Soft Side, And Extenuate It As Much As Is Possible, By Considering The Nearness Of The Relation, And The Long Friendship And Familiarity Between You--obligations To Kindness Which A Single Provocation Ought Not To Dissolve. And Thus You Will Take The Accident By Its Manageable Handle.

If You Wish To Write, Write.

Man Is Not Fully Free Unless He Is Master Of Himself.
