Happiness Is Not Perfected Until It Is

To Be Truly And Really Independent Is To Support Ourselves By Our Own Exertions.

The Flatterer Easily Insinuates Himself Into The Closet, While Honest Merit Stands Shivering In The Hall Or Antechamber.

Don't Live To Please Others. Don't Think Everyone Else Knows What's Right Or True. Listen To Yourself, And Be True To Yourself. That Way, No Matter What Else Happens In Life, You Will Always Have Your Self-respect.

Goodness Is Equally Hateful To The Wicked, As Vice Is To The Virtuous.

Beauty Of Form Affects The Mind, But Then It Must Be Understood That It Is Not The Mere Shell That We Admire; We Are Attracted By The Idea That This Shell Is Only A Beautiful Case Adjusted To The Shape And Value Of A Still More Beautiful Pearl Within. The Perfection Of Outward Loveliness Is The Soul Shining Through Its Crystalline Covering.
