"No man can rob us of our will."

"As a mark is not set up for the purpose of missing the aim, so neither does the nature of evil exist in the universe."

"Don't demand that things happen as you wish, but wish that they happen as they do happen, and you will go on well."

"Every man's life is a train of choices, and every choice has a consequence."

"If you have assumed a character beyond your strength, you have both dishonored yourself in that, and neglected what you might have done."
