What The Inner Voice Says Will Not

Rarely Do We Arrive At The Summit Of Truth Without Running Into Extremes; We Have Frequently To Exhaust The Part Of Error, And Even Of Folly, Before We Work Our Way Up To The Noble Goal Of Tranquil Wisdom.

It May Here Be Justly Said, That Genuine Morality Is Preserved Only In The School Of Adversity, And A State Of Continuous Prosperity May Easily Prove A Quicksand To Virtue.

I Know That We Often Tremble At An Empty Terror; Yet The False Fancy Brings A Real Misery.

Friends Show Me What I Can Do, Foes Teach Me What I Should Do.

Virtue Is No Empty Echo.
