Sometimes a scream is better than a thesis. Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying. A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer. Do what you know and perception is converted into character. The ornament of a house is the friends who frequent it. People only see what they are prepared to see. A man is a God in ruins. The man of genius inspires us with a boundless confidence in our own powers. The reward of a thing well done is to have done it. The wise man always throws himself on the side of his assailants. It is more his interest than it is theirs to find his weak point. |
