Those Who Can Bear All Can Dare

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.

Servitude Degrades People To Such A Point That They Come To Like It.

When We Feel That We Lack Whatever Is Needed To Secure Someone Else's Esteem, We Are Very Close To Hating Him

He Who Knows How To Suffer Everything Can Dare Everything.

Our Virtues Are Dearer To Us The More We Have Had To Suffer For Them. It Is The Same With Our Children. All Profound Affection Admits A Sacrifice.
