Deep-versed in books And shallow in himself.
~ John Milton
Confidence imparts a wonderful inspiration to its possessor.
Oftentimes nothing profits more than self-esteem grounded on what is just and right and well-managed.
He who reigns within himself and rules his passions desires and fears is more than a king.
The stars, that nature hung in heaven, and filled their lamps with everlasting oil, give due light to the misled and lonely traveller.
Beauty is nature's brag, and must be shown in courts, at feasts, and high solemnities, where most may wonder at the workmanship.
Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity.
None can love freedom heartily, but good men; the rest love not freedom, but licence.
