“ A position of eminence makes a great person greater and a small person less. ”
The pleasure of criticizing takes away from us the pleasure of being moved by some very fine things.

If some persons died and others did not die death would indeed be a terrible affliction.
Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its brevity.
If poverty is the mother of all crimes, lack of intelligence is their father.
