Humility Is The Worst Form Of Conceit.

The Ambitious Deceive Themselves In Proposing An End To Their Ambition; That End, When Attained, Becomes A Means.

How Deceitful Hope May Be, Yet She Carries Us On Pleasantly To The End Of Life.

We Often In Our Misfortunes Take That For Constancy And Patience Which Is Only Dejection Of Mind; We Suffer Without Daring To Holdup Our Heads, Just As Cowards Let Themselves Be Knocked On The Head Because They Have Not Courage To Strike Back.

Were We Faultless, We Would Not Derive Such Satisfaction From Remarking The Faults Of Others.

Hope, Deceiving As It Is, Serves At Least To Lead Us To The End Of Our Lives By An Agreeable Route.
