Great And Frequent Reverses Can Crush And Mar Our Bliss Both By The Pain They Cause And By The Hindrance They Offer To Many Activities.

There Is Nothing Unequal As The Equal Treatment Of Unequals.

Virtue Is More Clearly Shown In The Performance Of Fine Actions Than In The Non-performance Of Base Ones.

Happiness Depends Upon Ourselves.
