Eminence Without Merit Earns Deference Without Esteem.

Nature Never Said To Me: Do Not Be Poor; Still Less Did She Say: Be Rich; Her Cry To Me Was Always: Be Independent.

All Passions Exaggerate; And They Are Passions Only Because They Do Exaggerate.

When A Man And A Woman Have An Overwhelming Passion For Each Other, It Seems To Me, In Spite Of Such Obstacles Dividing Them As Parents Or Husband, That They Belong To Each Other In The Name Of Nature, And Are Lovers By Divine Right, In Spite Of Human Convention Or The Laws.

Slander Is The Balm Of Malignity.

Remorse Turns Us Against Ourselves.
