To Be Truly And Really Independent Is

Virtue Is Despotic; Life, Reputation, Every Earthly Good, Must Be Surrendered At Her Voice. The Law May Seem Hard, But It Is The Guardian Of What It Commands; And Is The Only Sure Defence Of Happiness.

None Are Fit Judges Of Greatness But Those Who Are Capable Of It.

We Value The Devotedness Of Friendship Rather As An Oblation To Vanity Than As A Free Interchange Of Hearts; An Endearing Contract Of Sympathy, Mutual Forbearance, And Respect!

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.

The Perfection Of Outward Loveliness Is The Soul Shining Through Its Crystalline Covering.
