Let Us Draw A Lesson From Nature,

Character Is That Which Can Do Without Success.

Talents Differ; All Is Well And Wisely Put; If I Cannot Carry Forests On My Back, Neither Can You Crack A Nut.

What I Must Do Is All That Concerns Me, Not What The People Think. This Rule, Equally Arduous In Actual And In Intellectual Life, May Serve For The Whole Distinction Between Greatness And Meanness.

Genius Is Its Own End.

A Skilful Man Reads His Dreams For His Selfknowledge; Yet Not The Details, But The Quality.
