Many things difficult to design prove easy to performance.

Design

I am not able to instruct you. I can only tell that I have chosen wrong. I have passed my time in study without experience; in the attainment of sciences which can, for the most part, be but remotely useful to mankind. I have purchased knowledge at the expense of all the common comforts of life: I have missed the endearing elegance of female friendship, and the happy commerce of domestic tenderness.

Don't think of retiring from the world until the world will be sorry that you retire. I hate a fellow whom pride or cowardice or laziness drive into a corner, and who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl. Let him come out as I do, and bark.

Djävul

It is easy to talk of sitting at home contented, when others are seeing or making shows. But not to have been where it is supposed, and seldom supposed falsely, that all would go if they could; to be able to say nothing when everyone is talking; to have no opinion when everyone is judging; to hear exclamations of rapture without power to depress; to listen to falsehoods without right to contradict, is, after all, a state of temporary inferiority, in which the mind is rather hardened by stubbornness, than supported by fortitude. If the world be worth winning let us enjoy it, if it is to be despised let us despise it by conviction. But the world is not to be despised but as it is compared with something better.

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than open one's mouth and remove all doubt.

Your manuscript is both good and original, but the part that is good is not original and the part that is original is not good.

Bok

In order that all men may be taught to speak the truth, it is necessary that all likewise should learn to hear it

Sannhet

Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.

Patriotisme

Fraud and falsehood only dread examination. Truth invites it.

Sannhet

He that undervalues himself will undervalue others, and he that undervalues others will oppress them.
