It Is Hard Work To Be Good

The World Never Leaves One In Ignorance Or In Peace.

When One Has Not Father, Or Mother, Or Brother, And All One's Friends Have Barely Bread Enough For Themselves, Life Cannot Be Very Easy, Nor Its Crusts Very Many At Any Time.

Belief Of Some Sort Is The Lifeblood Of Art.

Charity Is A Flower Not Naturally Of Earthly Growth, And It Needs Manuring With A Promise Of Profit.

Emulation Is Active Virtue; Envy Is Brooding Malice.
