Wit Does Not Take The Place Of

Few Men Have Depth Enough To Hear Or Tell The Truth.

Nothing But Courage Can Guide Life.

It Is In Our Own Mind And Not In Exterior Objects That We Perceive Most Things; Fools Know Scarcely Anything Because They Are Empty, And Their Heart Is Narrow; But Great Souls Find In Themselves A Number Of Exterior Things; They Have No Need To Read Or Travel Or To Listen Or To Work To Discover The Highest Truths; They Have Only To Delve Into Themselves And Search, If We May Say So, Their Own Thoughts.

The Favorites Of Fortune Or Of Fame Topple From Their Pedestals Before Our Eyes Without Diverting Us From Ambition.

We Are Less Hurt By The Contempt Of Fools Than By The Lukewarm Approval Of Men Of Intelligence.
