He Who Knows How To Suffer Everything

If Virtue Were Its Own Reward, It Would No Longer Be A Human Quality, But Supernatural.

It Cannot Be A Vice In Men To Be Sensible Of Their Strength.

Generosity Gives Assistance, Rather Than Advice.

The Generality Of Men Are So Bound Within The Sphere Of Their Circumstances That They Have Not Even The Courage To Get Out Of Them Through Their Ideas, And If We See A Few Whom, In A Way, Speculation Over Great Things Makes Incapable Of Mean Ones, We Find Still More With Whom The Practice Of Small Things Takes Away The Feeling For Great Ones.

The Greatest Evil That Fortune Can Bring To Men Is To Endow Them With Feeble Resources And Yet To Make Them Ambitious.
