Offended Vanity Is The Great

Having Once Decided To Achieve A Certain Task, Achieve It At All Costs Of Tedium And Distaste. The Gain In Self Confidence Of Having Accomplished A Tiresome Labor Is Immense.

Men Of Much Depth Of Mind Can Bear A Great Deal Of Counsel; For It Does Not Easily Deface Their Own Character, Nor Render Their Purposes Indistinct.

Any One Who Is Much Talked Of Be Much Maligned. This Seems To Be A Harsh Conclusion; But When You Consider How Much More Given Men Are To Depreciate Than To Appreciate, You Will Acknowledge That There Is Some Truth In The Saying.

More Than Half The Difficulties Of The World Would Be Allayed Or Removed By The Exhibition Of Good Temper.

Every Happiness Is A Hostage To Fortune.
