Happiness Depends Upon Ourselves.

No Notice Is Taken Of A Little Evil, But When It Increases It Strikes The Eye.

Bad People...are In Conflict With Themselves; They Desire One Thing And Will Another, Like The Incontinent Who Choose Harmful Pleasures Instead Of What They Themselves Believe To Be Good.

Character Is Determined By Choice, Not Opinion.

Quite Often Good Things Have Hurtful Consequences. There Are Instances Of Men Who Have Been Ruined By Their Money Or Killed By Their Courage.

No Excellent Soul Is Exempt From A Mixture Of Madness.
