A Hair Shirt Does Not Always Render

Once You Have Decided To Keep A Certain Pile, It Is No Longer Yours; For You Can't Spend It.

All Permanent Decisions Are Made In A Temporary State Of Mind.

I Would Rather Produce My Passions Than Brood Over Them At My Expense; They Grow Languid When They Have Vent And Expression. It Is Better That Their Point Should Operate Outwardly Than Be Turned Against Us.

It Is A Rare Life That Remains Orderly Even In Private.

How Many We Know Who Have Fled The Sweetness Of A Tranquil Life In Their Homes, Among The Friends, To Seek The Horror Of Uninhabitable Deserts; Who Have Flung Themselves Into Humiliation, Degradation, And The Contempt Of The World, And Have Enjoyed These And Even Sought Them Out.
