Anger is a prelude to courage.

Dissipation is a form of self-sacrifice.

A heresy can spring only from a system that is in full vigor.

Our credulity is greatest concerning the things we know least about. And since we know least about ourselves, we are ready to believe all that is said about us. Hence the mysterious power of both flattery and calumny.
