We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance--and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty. - [Time] The greatest man is he who chooses right with the most invincible resolution. - [Greatness] The greatest power of ruling consists in the exercise of self-control. - [Proverbs] The law of the pleasure in having done anything for another is, that the one almost immediately forgets having given, and the other remembers eternally having received. - [Gratitude] The man who can be compelled knows not how to die. - [Stubbornness] The man who has learned to triumph over sorrow wears his miseries as though they were sacred fillets upon his brow; and nothing is so entirely admirable as a man bravely wretched. - [Grief] The manner of saying or of doing anything goes a great way in the value of the thing itself. It was well said of him that called a good office that was done harshly, and with an ill-will, a stony piece of bread; it is necessary for him that is hungry to receive it, but it almost chokes a man in the going down. - [Manners] The mind does not easily unlearn what it has been long in learning. - [Proverbs] The mind is never right but when it is at peace within itself; the soul is in heaven even while it is in the flesh, if it be purged of its natural corruptions, and taken up with divine thoughts, and contemplations. - [Soul] The mind is the proper judge of the man. - [Mind] The miserable are sacred. - [Misery] Displaying page 9 of 22 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 [9] 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22
