"Vanity, shame, and above all disposition, often..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“To know oneself is not necessarily to improve oneself”

“Those that have had great passions esteem themselves for the rest of their lives fortunate and unfortunate in being cured of them.”

“You are never so easily fooled as when trying to fool someone else.”

“Don't seek the water; get thirst.”

“Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it.”

“If today were my last day, would I do what I'm doing?...If the answer was 'No' too many days in a row, I'd make a change.”

“Both Self-restraint and Unrestraint are a matter of extremes as compared with the character of the mass of mankind; the restrained man shows more and the unrestrained man less steadfastness than most men are capable of.”

“Clever talk and domineering manner have little to with being a Man at His Best.”

“Go on bravely. Do not expect success in a day or a year. Always hold on to the highest. Be steady. Avoid jealousy and selfishness. Be obedient and eternally faithful to the cause of truth, humanity, and your country, and you will move the world.”
