If thou art a man, admire those who attempt great things, even though they fail.
It is the sign of a great mind to dislike greatness, and to prefer things in measure to things in excess.
Precepts or maxims are of great weight and a few useful ones on hand do more to produce a happy life than the volumes we can’t find.
A great mind becomes a great fortune.
There is no great genius without some touch of madness.
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
A great fortune is a great slavery.
There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it.
He that does good to another does good also to himself.
The bad fortune of the good turns their faces up to heaven the good fortune of the bad bows their heads down to the earth.
