In The Truly Great, Virtue Governs With

A Churlish Courtesy Rarely Comes But Either For Gain Or Falsehood.

Weigh Not So Much What Men Assert, As What They Prove. Truth Is Simple And Naked, And Needs Not Invention To Apparel Her Comeliness.

Misery And Misfortune Is All One; And Of Misfortune Fortune Hath Only The Gift.

Anger, The Stoics Said, Was A Short Madness.
